Is the shortage of good quality stock really a new phenomenon in the used car market - or is the key issue for dealers their ability to sell stock as efficiently as possible?

Mark Cowling, Motoring Economics' director, gives his opinion on the key dynamics of the market and the areas of focus for retailers in the final months of this year and into 2010.

Cowling is a panel member at the AM Used Car Conference on October 14th in Birmingham.

Only one week left to book - limited dealer tickets available. More information at www.am-online.com/used-car-conference.
