Following confirmation yesterday that dealerships can reopen on 1st June, is anyone else chomping at the bit to pick up the phone first thing next Monday?

We were looking for a family car before lockdown started with our first baby due in July. As due date draws closer I'm keen to get something sorted ASAP, even if it is a Kia Sportage and not very PH...

100% I've been doing deals in the lockdown but the sourcing side of things has been harder roll on the 1st.

It's a weird one... just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.

I bought a new car just before lockdown and haven't been able to drive it yet because I need to sell my old car first.

So I am eager to get it on the market but still conscious of having someone else sitting in the car with me to test drive! I think I'll leave it until the end of June and hope there's no second wave, then I may test the selling waters.

I’m also chomping at the bit to get my hands on a new car, but to be honest I probably won’t need it for the next 6-12 months. The wife’s Kia will make do.

Surely there is a going to be a large amount of people who will continue to work remotely for the foreseeable future and much less need for multiple cars. I’m waiting for manufactures (BMW) to come out with some enticing offers and then I’ll pull the trigger on a 3 series touring.
