Agenda Used vehicle prices are continuing to hold up well as new car and van registrations remain in the doldrums, but that is no excuse for complacency when it comes to remarketing. Experts share their views about where the market is going so that members can get the best value remarketing ex-fleet cars and vans. Questions to be asked include: New car registrations have risen for 18 months in a row will this soon bring an end to the current bull market for used vehicles? Used vehicle grading what impact has it had on the market? How is technology changing the used car market? Is the used van market due for a correction? Promoting responsible transport www.bvrla.co.uk

Conclusions? How much will new car sales growth damage used car values? Lack of supply has supported used car prices New car market returning towards midterm trend levels Retail sales growth may slow despite recovering economy Possible PCP returns time bomb Growth in LCV rental Recovery in European car sales may reduce volume pressure in UK a little, but Heavy discounting to continue and potential increases in short cycle fleet volume create risk for used car values The UK 1-5 year old car parc is already seeing growth this year, and when the strong new car sales growth is combined with heavy discounting the value of young used vehicles will really struggle as you head into 2015 and beyond eurotaxglass Q3 2013 Automotive Market Report December 9, 2013 Invigors EMEA LLP 17

Evolution of CAP Initial Forecasts Black Book CAP Clean vs. Original Forecasts
Separate Battery Leasing Where a vehicle is a complete asset (includes the battery), CAP will provide current & future values in the same way as for a conventionally powered vehicle. Consultation with contract hire, asset finance and insurance companies has been virtually universal and has raised significant issues with dual title: Impossible to repossess either asset in the event of default Operational risk of battery management with lessor - cannot control charge/discharge cycles. Agreements not fit for purpose. Total loss insurance issues in calculating repair vs. total loss. Additional admin resource for vehicles with separate battery lease - adversely affects potential deal profitability. Vast majority of companies not funding dual asset vehicles
Barriers To Adoption Range anxiety & suitability. Cost both in terms of initial vehicle purchase & Total Cost of Motoring comparison vs. ICE alternatives. Perception that battery will need replacing in a used vehicle. Charging infrastructure some progress, but still a long way from a viable solution. Dichotomy of city centre suitability. Adoption incentives mainly aimed at new car buyer. Availability of raw materials required for large scale battery production. Significant barriers remain
Alternative Fuels Fuel cells the likely long term solution - IX35 production ready - Transition from engineering to chemistry Private Sector funding for 1.2mm electric vehicle charging infrastructure Research into battery technology Improvements in ICE

Background Overall Marketplace Impact of Grading Buyer Trends & Future Predictions Importance of Vehicle Preparation Technology and its impact on the wholesale market
Approach Taken 1. Stock Comparisons 3. Manheim Inspections 2. Compliance with NAMA 4. Impact on CAP
NAMA Grading NAMA has agreed to provide its members with a Voluntary code for vehicle grading. The code has been designed to assist: Vendors Buyers Pricing guides NAMA members Remarketing industry The goal is to establish a common understanding of vehicle condition grading
NAMA Grading Benefits to Sellers Provide consistent, transparent vehicle grading across different auction centres Insight into the sales performance of vehicles at auction by providing a grading system that correlates to the guide price condition values Increases confidence in online buyers of vehicles, in turn increasing: o o Number of competitive online bids Sales through other online channels

Buyer Behaviour Wholesale Buying Trends have changed, and will continue to change Margins are being squeezed Money is cheap to borrow yet hard to obtain Buying for stock in big numbers is not for the feint hearted Internet has driven the small dealer to specialise or die
Buyer Behaviour Online purchasing continues to grow Still a desire to touch and feel by some buyers The need for quality description is greater than ever Stock supply will widen the gap between Clean and Poor further Buyers don t want money tied up unnecessarily
Vehicle Preparation Vehicle preparation has come a long way since throwing a bucket of water on it Buyers want cars ready to retail Advent of larger de-fleet numbers will add pressure for vendors Recipe for success: Right Car In front of the right buyer At the right time In the right condition
Influence of Technology on Buyer Behaviour Sourcing the right stock Analytics tools to provide real time information on what to buy Automated matching on shopping basket requirements Earlier information on vehicles being offered for sale Better quality vehicle information Higher quality imagery More granular data condition, service history Live valuations for wholesale and retail environments
Influence of Technology on Buyer Behaviour Increased purchasing online Continued growth of Simulcast sales More 24/7 Buy Now options on stock going through a variety of channels Support services which make life easier No queuing to pay at the physical auctions Online interaction to book transport, arrange refurbishment or track deliveries Wholesale funding at click of a mouse after purchase Transition to retail / integration Automatic push of data from wholesale to retail environments e.g. images Push to wholesale channels for vehicles which need to be moved quicker
