Reply to: Brits to shift to used cars

I filled up in Dorchester on 15th March. Still have over half a tank left. I think I paid around £1.28/l

The last fill up was half a tank when the oil prices went into freefall (needed unfortunately).
I've seen Morrisons and Costco under £1/Litre.

[WTFH]

Either go cheap and cheerful or go expensive and make sure it's bloody secure at night. Too many car thefts going on at the moment.

On a plus note, filled up at less than £1 per litre for the first time in years at weekend.

Do some maintenance runs every 2 weeks, otherwise the brakes bind, the tyres wear from being in the same position, the oil drops down, and the battery goes flat

Yeah, my Dad said the same (my real one, not Mordac).

It's usually fine if I use it every 4 - 6 weeks.

Brits to shift to used cars

1.5k on a new car will not be changing my car buying habits. In fact I was relieved when it was that amount. A lot of people do 3 year finance, so I cannot see £500/year making much difference.

Cut and shuts for the UK from the German insurance write-off market. Let the free market sort it out, unimpeded by EUSSR elf & safety diktats.

Looks like Britain will become like Cuba, with new cars being out their reach,

New car Brexit tariffs will 'likely' lead to a 'further shift' towards the used car market

Brexit is creating new opportunities for secondhand car salesmen.

If you want a proper petrol car, rather than a silly electric appliance, soon you'll have no choice but to go second hand.

Looks like its time to get a very good deal on my renewal then

Which brands' salesmen should I abuse first? BMW, Mazda or Volvo?
