According to reports from leading UK
car manufacturers, the popularity of
car finance
loans from manufacturers are soaring in popularity.
Higher costs of living and tighter
lending criteria from high street
lenders has lead to more and more consumers taking out
car loans from
vehicle dealerships and direct
from car manufacturers.
Five months ahead of schedule,
Volkswagen announced that they had reached 2008
car loans targets, despite overall falling
car sales . The managing director, Graham Wheeler, reportedly
commented: We put our success down to the fact that we have
more available
funds and can move faster than other financial organisations.
Long-term planning means the
credit crunch is not affecting our lending
abilities.
