According to
credit check agency
Experian,
cars are the most common reason that people give for falling
into
debt . Getting
car finance on a relatively expensive
vehicle can be easy, and Experian indicate that men are almost
twice as likely to take this temptation as women.
The cost of living in the UK continues to soar, as does the cost of
running a car . However, some third of UK adults admit that
they care how people perceive them, and would go into
debt to give off the impression of wealth.
The Managing Director of the Automotive Division at Experian, Kirk
Fletcher, was reported in the news as commenting: The
credit crunch is having a significant impact on consumer
confidence across the UK, yet this survey highlights the fact that
the consumer's desire for
a car that projects the right image remains as strong as
ever.
