I don't know about the UK, but in the USA we're still in a pretty terrible time for buying. Selling can be good, but then trying to find a car for a decent price is pretty much impossible. And car dealerships have been increasing the prices of their cars above MSRP.

I dumped my 1985 VW Golf diesel for a 2013 Toyota hybrid and ended up getting worse fuel mileage. Of course right now the cost of diesel is higher than gasoline out here, but sometimes it's the other way around.
