Nice New Vauxhalls

Vauxhall are one of the biggest vehicle manufacturers and have been the third best seller in the market. It is no wonder their cars are so popular, whether through car leasing or purchasing.

The adverts are particularly successful for Vauxhall including the C’mons for the Corsa. The latest ad for the Vectra may not be as catchy, but still has elegance and class, using a “movie” premier of the car.

Anyway onto the car. The engine is available in a 1.6 turbo petrol which is very powerful. However there is the 1.6 and 1.8 but require a much heavier foot on the gas. The diesels are available in a 1.7 or a 1.9.

It is a compact hatch with enough room, but not as much as a Focus. It is however a very good looking car. The seat inside are very comfortable as well. There are also sport hatchbacks available for those who want a better looking car with black alloys for that extra sophistication.

So is the Astra worth buying? A brand new Astra can start from nearly £14,000. This can be quote costly or finance can really not be worth it for you end up paying so much more. If you are looking for a brand new car but cannot afford one car leasing may be the solution for you. Vauxhall Astra leasing from many reputable dealers. You also don’t have the hassle of selling the car and you just pay for the usage, then trade in for a brand new one the following year. A car lease may be the way to go.

Look on used car websites and you begin to notice a trend. There is a shortage in the number of used cars on the market which has led to dramatic price hikes. In fact, the price of a used car has increased by a colossal 30% over the past year. This change in the market has occurred because of the government-funded Scrappage Scheme.

In an effort to kick-start the failing new car market the government decided to inject some much needed funds into this industry The Scrappage Scheme got underway in May and has been since hailed as a success.

The scheme not only increased new car sales, but also helped to get old, dirty cars off the road. So the scheme has also benefited the environment as old gas-guzzlers have been replaced by new fuel-efficient cars.

The Scheme has been so successful that it has even been extended until next year. Ford and Vauxhall have benefited the most during the scheme, in particular they saw great sales figures during the all important 59′ plate launch month.

However, although the scheme has helped local car dealers – and the larger manufacturers in particular, it certainly hasn’t benefited used car hunters.

The Scrappage Scheme made the prices of brand new cars seem so appealing that people rushed to scrap there old cars in return for a shiny new one. Therefore, those that would have otherwise sold on their older cars to fund the purchase of their one vehicle have decided to have them scrapped – meaning that the used car market has been severely depleted.

Inevitably, because of the lack of supply, the demand has increased and therefore prices have seen a significant rise.

In some cases, because of the great deals available on the Scrappage Scheme, some people have been able to buy a brand new car for less money than the same model a year old.

This has meant that people looking for a bargain first car are really struggling to find one. The likes of the used Vauxhall Corsa and the little Ford Ka have been scrapped in their thousands – both of these cars have always been a firm favourite among young first-time drivers as they are cheap to insure and run.

As the Scrappage Scheme has been extended the used car market won’t really change until next Spring at least. Once all funds have been exhausted then we will be able if the market returns to it usual state…but then perhaps new car sales will fall once again…

It’s a trick that many drivers are already familiar with; putting a private registration plate on a used car can give the impression that the car is much newer than it seems. So, if you’re looking at used Vauxhall cars to buy, consider a private registration plate to transform the car.

Not everyone can afford a brand new car and it is frustrating for those with tight purse strings to have to think about shelling out for a new car, simply because the reality of this can’t happen. For some, the only way they can afford a car is to buy a used vehicle. This is fine, but if you’re worried about people thinking you’re driving an old model with 100,000 miles on the clock, a private plate could make all the difference.

You’re probably thinking that a private plate is going to cost a fortune, but this is not always the case. If you’re after a plate that says “3MILY” then you could be expecting to pay out a lot, but many private plates are affordable and add a touch of glamour to a car. It is particularly popular for executive car owners, who buy a used car that’s a few years old, to put a private plate on the vehicle so they can make everybody think it is a brand new luxury car they have just bought. The society that we live in is very materialistic, and although the idea of making people believe your car is newer than it is might seem fake and snobbish, you would be surprised just how many people do it. In London, for example, this is particularly popular, as the money-obsessed capital is home to people that have a façade to uphold.

Of course, you don’t have to be so extravagant like this. The main premise here is that if you buy a used car, such as a used Vauxhall car, you can make your car seem new just by adding a private plate. Plus, since you have saved money on the car by buying used, you can afford to splash out a bit on a private plate. Fancy your name on your car? It’s a good idea – but you might have to start saving up! In the meantime though, why not pick out your used Vauxhall car and then decide which plate you want on it.
