Second hand car prices...

Is it my imagination or are second hand car dealers totally taking the piss right now?

Old bangers have disappeared from sale completely around here and they're asking extraordinary prices for the most mundane of vehicles. I assume these are the ones they couldn't shift before the lockdown struck.

It would appear that you are on the money, Dutchman.

Looks like the older 12 month MOT bangers may have been bought up by those not wanting to use public transport.

Like much of the short-termism we have seen, this may well come back to bite them on the ar$e.
