The
car scrappage scheme is being hailed as a universal success.
Car dealers throughout the UK have reported an increase in
new car enquiries. The Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMIF)
reported that
car
dealers are seeing a majority of middle-aged cash
buyers, most not turning to
car finance for their purchase.
The RMIF surveyed dealers with the help of trade publication
Automotive Management. Some 92.8% of dealers are seeing an
increase in new car enquiries in light of the
car scrapping scheme.
The director of RMIF, Sue Robinson, reportedly commented:
Car sales should see a significant increase in the coming
months as a result of the
vehicle scrappage scheme. This will go a long way towards
helping to revive consumer confidence, and the
UK car market, making it a double win for buyers and business
alike.
