Conversion rates improved and demand was significantly stronger than we had seen in July.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n August’s rise was the result of a sharp rise in\u00a0values for vans sold as part-exchange vehicles.\u00a0The average\u00a0price of a part-ex\u00a0van rose by \u00a3282 to more than \u00a34,000 in August.<\/p>\n In contrast the\u00a0average value of ex-fleet and lease vans rose by just \u00a31 in August.\u00a0These 3-4 year old vehicles form a large part of the used van market and are perhaps the most liquid and consistent indicator of market conditions.<\/p>\n Condition remained\u00a0as important as ever in terms of securing a decent price, but Duncan Ward also commented that with wholesale volumes rising,\u00a0“there is no room for complacency” —<\/em> despite recent price rises.<\/p>\n I’d take this to mean that Mr Ward believes prices are unlikely to rise further and could fall — but we’ll know more when September’s sales figures go through.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The average price of a used van hit a new record of \u00a36,089 at BCA in August — but will high volumes put a dampener on prices this autumn?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9277,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[8],"tags":[624,1885],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9276"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9276"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9276\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9281,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9276\/revisions\/9281"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9277"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9276"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"BCA](\"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/bca-auction-37-sm.jpg\")
