Senior Forecasting Editor at CAP, predicting future used car prices. I look behind the headline data to find out what's down the back of the metaphorical sofa.
@GillsInTheBlood Bromley 1st half was all about the shape of the team being badly wrong. Asking for trouble. And that's not an opinion in hindsight. Points will come, but it's too late now for a play-off charge. Probably.
@GillsInTheBlood You might have done already, or as part of this dreadful experience, but if not, please insist on a prostate check and publicise to your worthy followers, especially those of us of a certain age, black, or with a familyhistory. #savinglives#prostate#CancerResearch
Latest @cap_hpi article in @_FleetNews this time on #BEV future values. Some electric models are now a LOT of car for the money. Main issue today is dealer demand weaker than consumer, but should improve as the market evolves. #forecast#usedcars#leasing https://t.co/TAFHKjhhpR
Funny old thing, the #q4#usedcar market. This article examines what’s been selling, what hasn’t & what the likes of OEMs & leasing companies have been up to, plus a look at the year ahead, when something like a normal seasonal market is expected to return https://t.co/MKjIdxqWEx
For any on our @cap_hpi customer webinar yesterday, our forecast accuracy for #BEVs at 36/60 from 3 years ago is (following the recent used car price reductions) on average our forecasts were -6.4% BELOW current used values #Forecast#usedcars#leasing#finance#valuations

@ListerLawrence ...and if you had looked at the @cap_hpi forecast in Jan-22 for the same vehicle today with 30,000 miles on the clock, it would have told you to expect a value of...£29,850. Values were unsustainable at previous levels and we told everyone they would come down. @RobertH_cap_hpi
NEW: last week we got the latest UK census data, on ethnicity, religion & identity.
It was met with toxic responses from the usual suspects seeking to weaponise the stats.
Almost every word of what they claimed was false.
