Car finance experts indicate that we have now
seen the end of
0 per cent car finance .
0 per cent vehicle finance effectively operates as a discount
for
car buyers looking to pay for a
new vehicle over a longer period of time.
Zero per cent finance is likely to suffer when the government
introduces a
scrapping scheme that offers £2000 for junk
cars .
Car retailers across the UK have already been forced to cut
prices considerably to try to attract new customers, and the
scrappage scheme will induce further discounts.
Fears are high that the
scrappage scheme has been ill thought out, and will impact
badly on
car retailers. The small increase in retail of
new cars may need to be sacrificed from elsewhere in the
industry.
