The falling levels of
used car prices is likely to impact on UK
car finance
loans . Sainsbury’s
car
finance department indicated last week that the amount of
money British people would spend on their
used vehicles was going into dramatic decline.
The prolonged impact of the
credit crunch, which has caused financial pressure and hit
household budgets hard, will shave considerable amounts off the
average amount paid for a
second-hand car .
This reduction in
vehicle prices is likely to strongly affected the
vehicle finance market, as
car buyers take out smaller
loans or simply not choosing a
loan at all. The head
of loans at the supermarket
financial services arm reportedly said the used car spending
will be lower in the next six months.
