Affordable Autos and Cars

Registrations of new car in Britain fell for the first time in a year last month, this was also the month that the Government withdrew its scheme to prop up sales.

Number fell around 13.2% on the year total last month to around 136,446 vehicles and the recent budget announcement may prevent people from investing in new cars.

Howard Archer, economist at IHS Global Insight said:

The more worried that consumers are, the less likely they will be prepared to splash out on as big-ticket an item as a car."

An obvious link can be found between the decline in sales and the Governments decision to get rid of the scrappage scheme that had been helping the motor industry. Despite this initiative ending in March sales had remained steady thanks to large demand from the fleet market.

However this has started to fall as well, business registrations have also fallen to the tune of around 6.5%.

Experts at SMMT (Society Of Motor Manufacturers) said:

"Subdued consumer confidence and a still fragile economic recovery make the outlook for the remainder of 2010 challenging, but a stronger than expected first half means full year volumes are still forecast to exceed 2009′s total."
