New and used cars are both in short supply. New car production has been slowed by the chip shortage while the knock-on impact of fewer part exchanges has seen used car stocks drop and prices rise.

While margins are up as a result of this situation, how long will it last?

With the all-important September plate-change just round the corner, in our latest Auto Retail Live broadcast we’ll be investigating vehicle supply, it’s impact on retailers and what can be done about it.

In Auto Retail Live’s Q3 Briefing we’ll have John O’Hanlon, founder of Waylands, Graeme Potts, CEO of Eden Motor Group, and Catherine Faiers, COO of Auto Trader, available online to answer your questions and share their experience of how best to operate in the current circumstances.

The focus for this webinar will be retail new and used car sales, how to thrive online and how to prepare for September, Q3 and the rest of 2021.

Key topics for discussion include:

New car supply – when will the chip shortage end

New cars – how to manage customer expectations

Used car stock levels

Used car pricing

Renumeration for sales teams
