Impossible dream

[pompeydave]

Have a look at select car leasing, you can mess about with deposit, term, miles etc
Just be careful with leasing cars have to go back in immaculate condition mainly

Agree going back in good condition , they do take wear and tear into consideration more these days and are better than years ago.
And you can negotiate more if anything needs doing .

They were back then,at the beginning of 2020 full spec titanium s were going from between £18 and £20 grand, lawtons of tadcaster sold a full spec titanium hybrid for £19 grand this car had every option it was in frozen white,evans halshaw sold a black ecoboost non hybrid which was fully optioned at the same time for £18355,tc harrison sold a solar silver non hybrid for £18999,that one was fully optioned apart from the digital dashboard,no chance of anything like that these days

The problem building up is that there is an awful lot of people who will have paid a premium price for their used Puma....I'm not sure they will be willing to take the massive hits that would be required to reset the market to pre-problem prices.

Absolutely.
If you paid £22k for a used Puma, you are not going to suddenly accept £18k just because of a 22 plate.
Whilst lead times remain at 6 months plus, the second hand market will remain strong.

Indeed it is , the 2nd hand market is very strong at the moment. I purchased a seat Ibiza in sept 21 (71 plate) , 1200 miles and 4 months later have been offered the same price ! This is the 1st time this has happened in my 35 yrs of driving , usually I lose £££.

We have just sold ours back to Ford 6 months & 4000 miles later for almost what we paid. it's now up for sale at over £1k more than we bought it for

There are plenty of other small SUV’s on the market if you look around. Yes the puma is one of the best but availability and price is getting silly.
