Buy nearly new - save £1000s - What Car? says...

The opportunity to find a nearly new bargain is coming to an end. The recession and a sharp downturn in new car registrations have starved the used car market over the past 12 months. With nearly new cars running out, and garages complaining about a shortage of decent stock, prices will rise.

In some cases, you may even be better off looking for a great price on a brand-new car than haggling on an overpriced used example. Act fast and buy the right nearly new car now, though, and you can still save a packet.
