Selling Your Car in Summer Could Be Profitable

The UK is very hot now, with temperatures near 40C. The Met Office has given a red heat alert warning. This warning is given when temperatures are very high.
The hot weather could cause problems on the roads. More people are driving, and train services might be affected.
Despite the bad weather, June and July are good months to sell a car, says a car expert.
CarGurus' UK Editorial Director Chris Knapman explains why selling your car now could be a good idea.
Sales executives have targets to meet each quarter. Visiting a dealership in June could help you get a better deal. This is because they want to meet their targets.
The expert says June and July are good times to visit a car dealership.
If you visit a dealership during a heatwave, you might get a better deal. This is because fewer people are buying cars, so dealerships might be more willing to negotiate.
If you want to sell your car, the price depends on the type of car. The time of year also affects the price.
For example, SUVs are worth more in winter, so selling in June or July might not get you the best price. But convertibles are worth more in summer.
The UK is having a heatwave this week.
Some people are deciding whether to buy or sell a car now.
One expert says some cars are not good for hot weather.
The RAC says drivers without air conditioning should delay their journeys. Red heat warnings are rare and serious.
Drivers without air conditioning should not drive unless necessary. They should wait until the weather is cooler.
If you must drive, do it during cooler times of the day. This is especially important if you have children or older adults with you.
