A way to Beat the tax increases...

I visited some friends at the weekend who have just bought themselves an Audi TT in racy red. They made the purchase through an online used car supermarket that they were recommended and the process was so simple that they don’t think they will ever do it another way going forward.

The Used Audi TT from Doncaster was in fantastic condition, arrived on time and was such fantastic value, that it got me thinking. Do we really need to spend over the odds on a brand new vehicle when we can spend half on a nearly new vehicle that does exactly the same job? After all, who needs to know that the car is not brand new, unless you tell them?

Used car sales seem to be booming, with the removal of the scrappage scheme and the pending introduction of increased VAT for 2011with larger items such as a car incurring quite an increase in tax charges. I am currently looking for an upgrade on my mums used ford fiesta as it is just sitting on the drive and could be traded in at a used car supermarket for a newer model such as a ford c-max that I have seen a lot of recently on the road and in the press. I hate the thought of wasting something, so upgrading now before the introduction of more tax is becoming more and more appealing.
