'Prices have now stabilised and are back down to 1.4%'

Prices for second-hand cars have begun to stabilise.

The entire market has been in turmoil since the Covid-19 pandemic, but DoneDeal says second-hand motors still cost almost 70%  more when compared to the onset of Covid-19.

Environmental Economist, Dr Tom Gillespie wrote the report. He says there's a big difference, though, between the lower and upper end of the market.

"What we are seeing in the latest quarterly update from DoneDeal is that prices have begun to stabilise. That's after a long period of quite intense inflation since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

"Prices were going up by an average of 6% per quarter. They have now stabilised down to 1.4% in the last quarter, on average," he added.
