Price Stops Car Buying
A survey has recently come out that states that around half the people they asked would not be getting a new car this year simply because of how quickly the costs of a new car is rising. So what are the costs coming into play this year and is it really too much to stop someone from purchasing a car?
Emission Tax
Soon to come into play is the emission tax which actually adds up nearly £1,000 extra onto your car if you are after one of the models that guzzles up more fuel than a cross between a Jumbo Jet and a Mission to Mars. Safety should be in cars like the Audi Q5 and Audi TT Coupe. This actually to me almost seems like a fair tax and although the government are pretending to do it for the right reasons, we know it is simply down to the fact they are wanting more money as they are all in debt from the recession.
Even in the recession last year there were many companies that put up their price. Renault, SEAT as well as Vauxhall are three of the bigger companies that put their prices up on more than one occassion last year, Ford on the other hand put their prices up a massive four times meaning their Fiesta went up by £2,500. Why are companies wondering why people are not buying from them, it is so obvious?
On the plus side you can still get a new Audi for a reasonably good price so take into consideration that some manufacturers are a lot better than others. Make sure that you also take a good look on the internet because there are many sites out there that offer prices a lot cheaper than showrooms.
So don’t scrap the idea of getting a new car altogether, just look around!
