KENT, UNITED KINGDOM — (Marketwire) — 01/09/12 — eQuoteDirect have examined new car sales figures in the UK and commented on the effect trading may have on the need for quality motor trade insurance.
The demand for new cars dipped by 4.2% in November – a reduction hoped to be temporary by eQuoteDirect, who are viewing the statistics from a positive standpoint.
eQuoteDirect specialise in brokering deals and after reviewing these figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), the firm have highlighted that although November has seen a drop in new car sales, 2011 is still set to overshoot its annual forecast.
With new car sales already totalling at 1,822,065 and December sales still unaccounted for, the 2010 total of 1,907,029 is well within reaching distance.
New cars are safer and more fuel efficient – two incentives that appeal to motor traders buying and selling vehicles. eQuoteDirect insist these businesses must acquire the right insurance if they are to protect themselves.
A spokesperson for the brokers commented:
-The popularity of new cars is largely down to how advanced they have become and although November has seen a dip, October and August were strong months for the industry. Traders need to acquire quality insurance not only to cover their new stock but also the new cars that come in for repair – they simply cannot take the risk of incurring unaffordable damages to these modern machines.-
New cars are also vulnerable to theft and the BBC-s The One Show, recently reported how savvy thieves are now stealing keys rather than trying to circumvent alarm systems in modern vehicles. Finding the correct can make sure all bases are covered – including theft from the business premises.
eQuoteDirect focuses on finding such policies and while they remain positive about the potential resurgence of new car sales in the UK, they maintain it is absolutely vital for motor traders to protect their investments.
