Glass's Forecast Bureau Service



Are you losing money on short cycle vehicles? - Glass's new Forecast Bureau Service has the answer!

EurotaxGlass's has created a new service that generates residual value forecasts for new or recently registered cars. The Forecast Bureau Service can define the most profitable time to sell 'short-cycle' vehicles, such as demonstrators, daily rental vehicles and bodyshop courtesy cars.
The service can also identify the most cost-effective vehicles to be added to an employee company car list or a dealer's demonstrator fleet.

How will this new Forecast Bureau Service help your business?
  • Proven accuracy and transparent methodology from the publishers of Glass's Guide - the market-leading source for used vehicle valuations.
  • Easy to use and cost-effective way of obtaining short term RV forecasts - no need for software implementation.
  • Obtain a value quickly - simply email your request and get a response within 48 hours.
  • The service can help you define when the likely retail selling price of a car will fall below the original net purchase price.
  • This information can then be used to schedule disposals more profitably, as well as identify the most cost-effective vehicles that can be added to an employee/demonstrator fleet.
  • The valuations cover periods up to 9 months after the date a request is made - reflecting anticipated depreciation trends, seasonal influences, odometer readings and (where required) items of optional equipment included on the chosen vehicle.
  • Data produced by the Forecast Bureau Service can be used to support compliance with Inland Revenue rules governing the car purchase and loan schemes (CPLS). Some dealer groups, vehicle manufacturers and importers use a CPLS as a tax-efficient means of providing company cars to employees. The Inland Revenue ask that data from an independent third party be used to verify future value forecasts.
  • The service is also particularly relevant to companies running a daily rental operation, a fleet of courtesy cars or other forms of short-cycle business.
