Smoking ban could boost car values
Published June 29th, 2007
The smoking ban will have a positive effect in helping car owners to protect their residual values at remarketing time according to British Car Auctions.
The ban, which comes into force next week, should mean fewer ex-fleet cars will be offered for sale with smoker’s damage.
Therefore fleet owners should see the benefit in improved residual values say the BCA.
Operations director for the BCA, Simon Henstock said, “When it is time for it to be sold, a ‘smoked in’ vehicle is much less appealing to buyers.
