Lots of choice for car buyers

It has probably never been a better time to buy a new or second hand car. New car sales have been badly hit by the credit crunch and resulting economic uncertainty. This has led to dealers selling cars at huge discounts and offering enticing deals in an effort to get customers in and try to revive sales.

In the second hand car market, the supply of used vehicles is very high. This is down to a number of factors and not all of them particularly pleasant. Unemployment and repossession of vehicles from those struggling to make payments means that there are a lot of very affordable cars out there at the moment. Obviously no one likes to benefit from the misfortune of others but the fact is that these affordable cars are out there because people are desperate to make some money. When people and families are in financial difficulty then one of the first things that can go to save some money is a second car. Cars can take a lot of money to run, fuel is never cheap, insurance and tax aren’t exactly small considerations and if you add in repair bills then it only gets even worse. If you add in depreciation, then it makes you realise how little financial sense some cars make.

Hopefully, there will not be too many of us in this position and the economy will soon pick up.
