Indeed chrisk, Plus also with the current global energy situation, all costs will go up including production and shipping. The kicker is, as I’ve been saying for quite a while, our allowance ain’t keeping up and some car prices have increased hugely over inflation, partly to do with new tech and hybrid system being added have increased costs.
Some new cars are up to 26% more expensive than in 2019.(what that means for the scheme is higher ap’s)
I was watching an interview with vertu group ceo and it was intresting how they selling less cars, have less stock but are making their biggest ever profits and it’s not down to selling online. He was saying that was the new model and they won’t be going back to the old one of having over supply of new cars or lots of used cars sitting around.
The dealer I’m buying my new car from has sold all the ones they ordered before they have even arrived.
Which imo also meens no deals for scheme vehicles, like we’ve seen before. Look there will be some if you able to move quick but not on factory orders.
What ap will the kia’s come back on the scheme at, I bet higher than now.. which is one reason why I’m making my move now back to ownership.
Lack of supply always, inflates prices as i have seen in other markets and it can be artificially created all you need is an excuse to do so, an event and then exploit that. 1st We had covid, now Ukraine and also the green agenda, with some levy or other, will all drive up prices and they won’t come back down to prior levels.
Then you say it’s a better way and keep it that way. Personally i know there’s some other agenda at play set by the un, wef etc and goverments rollout the polices and car makers have to fall into line to remain viable or face huge fines.
You will not own anything and you will be happy.
If your starving and get offered a slice of bread how happy will you be.. ecstatic. You get used to the new normal in 21 days.
Right now that seems many cars not being on the scheme at all. Which i don’t see getting any better only worse as we move toward 2030 or 2035.
Some companies are campaigning for the switch over sooner like volvo and tesco as they are going fully electric soon and their competitors should not be allowed to have an advantage over them so all should be forced to do as they do, even if it’s their choice to do so sooner they want new legislation brought in sooner to force others and everyone else to comply, rather than allow the market and adoption of the technology of the masses to dictate change, rather than have it forced upon us, which is the model we seeing put in place.
