2013 The Best Year To Buy A New Car?

We all know the feeling when “Mr next-door neighbor” pulls into his driveway with a brand new car. It’s alright for him in his job, but whilst many of us are still battling the dreaded double-dip recession, a new car is quite often out of the question. Or is it? Find out about new cars here. You see the motor industry faces the same problems as any other business sector does. With people having less money to spend, less cars are sold. However, many manufacturers are combating the harsh economic conditions with enticing offers and deals on cars in order to boost sales.

A new car with a big sticker price at the moment is likely open to some form of offer lowering the overall cost. Many brands are producing excellent 0% APR and deposit contributions on finance deals that make the purchase a much more viable proposition. These tough times can often work in your favour meaning that “Mr next-door” could well be admiring your shinny new set of wheels the next time you come home. Honda in particular are doing some really rather good offers right across their range, so don’t go thinking the only money saving to be done is on a small hatchback.

2013 could well be the right time to grab a bargain.

Renault to Sell Clio for 90’s Prices

Remember the 90’s? When there wasn’t an awful lot of money floating about and as a result prices remained steady. It’s a far cry from today’s fanatical situation where inflation has taken its toll on the economy, and a slice of bread will cost you your pension. Well Renault is also reminiscing of the 1990’s where its cracking Clio was launched 20 years ago. To celebrate, instead of releasing a tacky anniversary edition, the company are going to sell 1,000 Clio 1.2 Extremes for the same amount as they would have done in the 90’s.

The outcome is £3,590 off the cars original price making this an offer not to be missed. Yes Renault will still release a 20th anniversary wagon to silence the Clio owners club, but at least this is news we can all take advantage of. The offer is only on from the 21st to the 23rd of May so if you want your Clio for pre-credit crunch prices you best get you skates on!
