As predicted 4wd prices rise as snow falls

Leading vehicle auction specialist, BCA, has reported renewed interest in 4x4s sold at its auction centres around the UK as the winter weather tightens its grip right across the country. For many motorists, particularly those living in rural or remote areas, a 4×4 is fast becoming a necessity in winter rather than a luxury.

BCA’s Tim Naylor comments: “As the temperature drops, we have seen 4×4 values rise quite sharply. Values for some models climbed by around 5% in November, compared to similar vehicles bought in the previous month.”

“However, even accounting for the rising prices following the early onset of winter, buyers should still be able to find a good deal on a 4×4 at auction.”

BCA advises for potential buyers to opt for the best specification they can find within their set budget, particularly on large 4x4s as this will help the vehicle maintain its value in the years ahead.

“Nothing makes a four-wheel drive more attractive than a dusting of snow” concluded Tim Naylor. “And the last few days weather has certainly stirred interest in 4x4s.”
