    Don't buy a car.

    Yet.

    The repossessions start at the beginning of next year and the bailiffs are eager.
    • 91% of new cars in the UK are financed.
    • 1 in 8 cars are Motability owned so figure is actually higher.
    • 1 in 6 finance plans are taking a payment holiday.



    Around early February there will be plenty of opportunities to buy your retirement car. Main dealer personal leases will be where it is at, the lower end of the market is performing strongly. I will be buying a WTFH-mobile with 4 leaves (which is what the GBP will be equivalent to).

    Make sure you pay cash.

                  Not the cheapest Passats these days, they were £200 bangers at one time, a bit of shock when looking for an estate recently.
