Used cars sell six days faster in Scotland than the nationwide average, it has emerged.
Data from the CarGurus motoring website shows that cars typically spend just 25 days on dealer forecourts in Scotland compared to the UK average of 31 days, indicating that used car buyers in Scotland may need to move especially fast to secure their ideal vehicle.

“When shopping for a car in Scotland, buyers should be aware that cars are selling more quickly than average for the UK, particularly the most popular used models. Doing research ahead of a visit to the forecourt should allow the consumer to make an informed decision more readily,” CarGurus’ Editor Chris Knapman said.
