Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Glass's reckons the healthy demand for used trucks will extend into 200, The used truck market has been building a solid sales base over the past couple of years and strong trading throughout 2003 looks set to continue well into next year.

Glass's Information Services says the "healthy balance between supply and demand for the right mix of stock has set the conditions where dealers can thrive".

Late-year examples of clean Scania 4-Series,Mercedes-Benz Actroses, Volvo FHs and Daf XFs are commanding impressive prices, says chief editor George Alexander.

In fact many dealers believe there is a real shortage of the best quality heavies available and Alexander warns: "When they do bid on such lots they are in direct competition with those customers they would previously have hoped to retail this stock to."

Not all manufacturers are benefiting consistently in the tractor market. Glass's reports that a few MAN TG-As coming up for disposal fell short of marke expectations, while MAN rigids ai performing well.

It seems to be a similar state of affairs at RenaultTrucks, according to Glass's, with the Magnum and Premium putting in "lacklustre performances" while the Midlum is developing a loyal following with good residuals.
