Over the weekend I read an article in one of the Sunday newspapers which rather surprised me. It suggested that the recession has had a positive effect on the car leasing industry, or at least at the high end. So why would this be so? Well this is what I will be attempting to answer within the following paragraphs - I hope you enjoy the read.
It was suggested within the newspaper article that people, or at least some of them, are holding off from purchasing the more luxurious of cars. This is down, in no small part, to the difficult financial times that we are currently facing. Yes the recession is affecting the rich as well as the poor.
The government scrappage scheme may well have helped the sales of the cheaper brand new cars, as has been well documented in the media during recent weeks, however it has done very little to improve sales at the top end of the market.
Car leasing of luxury cars and even their cheaper counterparts is very much seen as a viable alternative. Why make such a large purchase in these turbulent times when you can merely lease a car for a couple of years? After the lease period is over then maybe the nation may well have come out of the recession and may even have returned back to the boom times (some how I doubt whether we will see any form of boom times for many many years, sorry for being so negative).
Some experts, those who feel that they are in the know, are of the belief that we are through the worst of the recession and the signs certainly look good; the stock markets are flying away, house prices are on the way up and business confidence is also starting to return. Does this mean that our love affair with car leasing will be over? I doubt it, people have tasted the alternative to purchasing brand new cars and the majority of them have enjoyed the taste - the good times could be here for a long time for those that are involved within this industry.
