Auto Trader has said it will slash its prices in June after the Government announced car dealerships can open again next month.

The business, which sets up buyers and sellers of cars on an online marketplace, said customers could expect a 25% discount.

Customers will be allowed to claim the money off for a month as they resume trading vehicles in June, Auto Trader said.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed that car sellers were among the businesses that would be allowed to open in England again from the beginning of June, with non-essential shops following two weeks later.

Auto Trader chief executive Nathan Coe said: "This recent Government announcement is an important step forward for the automotive industry, and we will continue to support our customers as they resume trading.

"It is encouraging that both our marketplace data and our consumer research suggest healthy levels of demand."

However, Auto Trader said it would wait to make any changes to its business in the rest of the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ.

"We will confirm any changes to our existing arrangements with our customers in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland at such time as their government announcements are made," it said in a statement.
