Research suggest motorists favour 'downsizing'

A recent survey has found that a massive 72% of British motorists are "seriously considering" selling a car favour of something more economical.

The research - conducted by Manheim Auctions - found that motorists plan to get around rising "austerity measures" by down-sizing their cars instead of cutting back on trips.
Drivers would be looking for cars with cheaper road tax, lower running costs and potentially cheaper insurance. They may also consider very low emission eco models that are exempt from road tax altogether.
“The government’s spending cuts will affect everyone in some way, but our research suggests that many drivers will continue to use their car as they always have,” said Craig Mailey, marketing director, Manheim Auctions. “For many, driving less is simply not an option. We all need to get to work after all.
“However, it’s great to see that motorists are seriously looking at ways to drive more economically. Although you may pay more initially, ensuring your next car is fuel efficient will save you money in the long run, especially with the benefits of lower road tax and cheaper insurance.”
With all the recent research suggesting that motorists now want to sell their car in a hassle free way and get the cash in their banks as quickly as possible, Car Buying Companies can look forward to another bumper year.
