Hi,
Just wondering what the experts think....
I'm coming into a bit of cash next month and have been waiting to change my car for something bigger and newer for a while.
My current car, albeit very unreliable, is big enough and economical enough for my current needs.
So, with the current credit crunch, and large cars plummeting in value, what do you think would be the wisest thing to do from the following options?
1) Buy the big gas guzzler I've been lusting after, as prices are so cheap at the mo, and I don't need to worry about loan rates...
or
2) Hang fire for a few months to see if they plummet further, and get the winter out of the way (salt crummy roads etc) and buy a shiny 2-yr old in the Spring (don't think I'll be towing till Spring again anyway)
Are diesel prices likely to get much cheaper over the coming months?
And do people think that the current tax premiums for large cars are likely to rocket even further over the coming years, or is this latest hike enough for any government?
