The current economic climate has affected the car industry as much as any other industry, mainly because even those who can still afford to buy a brand new car are refraining from doing so at the moment simply as they don’t want to take the financial hit in terms of depreciation.
The government scrappage scheme has divided opinion as to whether it will kick-start sales and help out the car industry, but if potential purchasers do indeed take up on the 2 grand discount then value is there to be had…
The least depreciating car on the market is the MINI – they retain value better than any other car and are always sought after so sellers should have no problems getting rid when the need arises.
MINI are matching the governments scrappage discount of 1 thousand pounds and are also offering other special offers on their brand new range, such as five years servicing for just 185 pounds.
Buying a brand new bit of German efficiency now doesn’t seem such an imprudent piece of spending after all!
