Despite the economic situation slamming the
car market, and pushing many
car manufacturers into a difficult situation, restricted
lending by
banks and
building societies could push more
car finance customers to
car dealers .
However, any benefits gained from having extra
vehicle finance customers are likely to be pulled down by the
slump in new and used car sales.
Sales manager of Derby
Volkswagen, Mark Spindley, was reportedly commented in a local
newspaper as saying: We've noticed more people coming to
us to
finance
their car purchases because they can't get
loans through their banks.
Lower
interest rates also allow dealers to offer
cheaper finance, Spindley said.
