🎙️ Highlights from the Interview
- Why Used Cars Are on the Rise
With new-car waiting times stretching longer, many buyers are turning to quality used vehicles—especially small, reliable models. Steve shared how demand for economical small cars keeps his lot buzzing. - ST Motors’ Approach
Steve emphasised our care-first ethos: every vehicle is thoroughly inspected, MOT’d, and valeted before sale. Transparency is key, and if customers can’t find what they want on-site, they’ll track down the perfect car—often before it even reaches the forecourt . - Local vs. National Market Trends
Unlike big online platforms, ST Motors offers personal service, local knowledge, and a hands-on experience. Steve discussed how a face-to-face walkthrough is often something national chains can’t replicate. - Smart Consumers & Value
A focal point was the growing importance of car servicing and maintenance history. Buyers these days, said Steve, “want to know exactly what they’re getting.” He advises verifying service records and opting for cars with full MOT history—a cornerstone of ST Motors’ offering.
💬 Final Takeaway from the Show
In a lively exchange with the presenter, Steve emphasised that a used car is only as good as the dealer behind it. For ST Motors, it’s not just about transactions—it’s about long-term relationships built on honesty, precision, and local roots.
