  1. Thank you for your insight. I would like to know if you guys think this downward trend will continue into the later months of Q1.

    1. Hi Cameron,

      As new car sales continue to strengthen and travel restrictions are gradually eased there will likely be some softening in used car prices in the coming months.

      Thanks,
      Tanim
