Stevenage, Hertfordshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/04/2015 -- Investors across the world are considering investing in the UK car market as sales take off across both the used and new car sectors.

In March 2015, new car registrations reached record levels. Many fund managers and traders believe that demand for cars is going to continue to be high throughout 2015, which makes investing in UK based car dealers an attractive proposition.

Investors are not just considering investing in those dealers who sell new vehicles. Many are also investing in large used car dealers that are listed on the stock market.

This is because used car dealers in Hertfordshire, and many other parts of the UK, have seen demand rise steadily during 2014 and that demand is continuing to be strong in 2015. Statistics taken from the BCA's Used Car Market Report shows that the UK's used car market has been growing steadily for five years and has really grown in the past 12 months. It is this sustained growth, which is attracting investors to the used car sector as well.

George Godber, who is a CF Miton UK Value Opportunities' fund manager,told Reuters:

"Stocks like Lookers and Inchcape are a great way to profit from the renaissance in the British car industry."

Over the past few months, the value of the shares of some of the largest UK car retailers has risen by 20%. Given the fact that 2015 is expected to be another strong year for both new car registrations and used car sales, many expect to see further rises in stock values.

The belief is that a recovering economy and wage growth will mean that more people in the UK will replace their existing vehicle. In addition, the fact that close on 2 million people now have the option to release some or all of their pension pot and take the cash will also drive up demand. A significant percentage of those who decide to take some cash out of their pension are expected to use some of it to buy a replacement vehicle.

Stevenage, Hertfordshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/31/2015 -- February is normally a slow month for car retailers. This is because many people, especially private buyers, wait for the plate switch over. Consumers know that if they buy in March they will get the new registration.

The registration of new cars for private individuals was up by 3.4% month on month. However, the biggest growth was for fleet sales.

Fleet car sales increased by close on 20% meaning that car dealers were extremely busy when compared to a normal February. Sales figures for the used car industry during January and February are yet to be released, but the trend during the latter part of 2014 was up, and all indications are that used car forecourts have stayed busy during the first part of 2015.

Used car dealers in Hertfordshire and the rest of the UK are set to benefit greatly from the fact that more new cars are being registered. Many of the new cars that are being registered are replacements. That means that there are plenty of units entering the used car market.

This translates into used car dealers being able to offer their customers a good choice of cars and gives them the chance to keep prices stable. During the latter part of 2014, much of the demand in the used car market came from consumers looking for vehicles or four years or less. Again, the fact that many of the new sales are being sold to fleet owners is good news because the majority, of fleet owners replace their vehicles on a three-year cycle. This means that there will be plenty of three-year-old vehicles for used car dealers to offer to their customers. In other words, exactly the vehicles their customers are looking for.

In addition, there are new PCP deals being made available. This means that people looking for a used car can easily find low cost finance something that has not been possible in the past. Most in the industry expect 2015 to be a busy year for the entire car industry.
