The remarketing industry is increasingly refurbishing ex-fleet cars to match quantifiable NAMA-approved levels of condition.
There is a spectrum to refurbishing used cars. At one end are those who hand over the keys to something utterly pristine that, as we have often discussed in these pages, will more than likely fly through auction with no shortage of bids.Â
At the other are owners or lessors who just want shot of the thing - never mind the state of it. That was fine during summer, when demand for used cars was such that even old, ropey ones were going for serious money - not so much when the market is anything but strong.Â
