What new car deals are coming for 181?

Any ideas of what kind of car deals will be coming for the 181 buying season? Expecting good deals due to poor sales or are we in for high PCP rates all around?

Hi John,

Short answer? We don’t know. A huge amount will depend on what the Government does in the Budget this year and if any changes are made to the tax system. Or if a general diesel scrappage scheme is introduced. It’s unlikely that PCP rates will go up much, unless the European Central Bank starts to raise its base rates, but on the basis of what we’ve seen this year, I’d imagine there will be plenty of sharp deals around. That said, if it’s a deal you want, buy just before Christmas, when sales have dropped to dead slow. You’ll get more for your money then.
