Welcome to this month's webuyanycar.com newsletter where we'll reveal why now is a fantastic time to sell your car!  There has been a phenomenal growth in used car prices in 2009 meaning that for many, the family motor could be their best performing asset.

We also have features on the latest in-car gadgets, the chance to win a Ferrari day for two, the lowdown on this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed and we drool over the new Audi R8 convertible.

Used cars continue to increase in value - now is the time to sell!

For most people their most valuable asset after their house, is their car.  While house prices are not particularly good news at the moment, low supply and high demand in the motor trade is causing the value of most used cars to soar!

Continued low sales of new cars and reduced production from many manufacturers in the first half of 2009 means that stocks of used cars are currently in short supply.  At the same time, demand from astute buyers is increasing, pushing prices up!

The result?  Great news for anyone wanting to sell their car!  With demand now outstripping supply on many makes and models, your car could be worth considerably more than it was just a few months ago.  So why not get a free no-obligation valuation today from yours truly?  It could be well worth your while...

Downsizing families push up used car prices

Following on from webuyanycar.com's report about growing demand for used cars, comes news that downsizing families could be a fuelling factor.  As cash-strapped parents look to save wherever possible, many are opting for used cars rather than buying new as they might do normally.  Families are also raising cash to fund summer holidays and breaks away.

In fact, reports suggest family drivers are prepared to trade-in both parents' cars in order to buy a single leaner, greener, newer model perhaps with a cash balance into the bargain which all adds extra mileage to the fact that now is a great time to sell!
