Car Industry Hits a Low
Just recently statistics have been released that shows new cars sales have fallen to their lowest April level for the last 18 years, which has also ultimately made it the eleventh month in a row of decline.
But car makers are not getting too worried as they are hoping that the new scrappage incentive scheme will revive the industry, basically people are going to be given around £2000 if their cars are older than a decade, this money will then have to be spent against a new car of your choice. This should help promote the industry.
Government officials have said that the program is actually created to remove polluting vehicles from the road, but I actually believe that it has much more too do with the current economy, they are trying to get the automobile industry live and kicking again and the best way to do that is by offering people a deal.
More and more people are now buying new cars as they believe it is mucg more cost effective, but is this always the case? From what I have seen over the last few months when people buy a used car and then end up paying a fortune to get it repaired. The great aspect about buying a new car is that you are guaranteed it will not break down on you for atleast two years.
Although the car industry is still suffering at the moment I do expect it to pick up by the end of the year, we all know that the government are injecting money into the global economy so things should only start to look better. Lets just hope that the scrappage scheme will last forever.
