I think the VAT could be a big issue that will affect prices long term if UK decide that they will not allow businesses to reclaim VAT then their exports will fall as it will be cheaper to deal with other EU countries that will probably affect car values in the positive for us.
But won't a used UK car be treated the same as a Japanese used car when imported here? I'm talking about a used car that was bought new in the UK post EU exit where VAT was originally paid in Britain but in the EU?
