Manchester, UK (PRWEB UK) 27 June 2013

The last eight months has seen a change in people’s car buying habits, says car finance and dealer specialist carfinance247.co.uk, with a gender reversal on using car finance being the main difference.

Carfinance247 carried out an independent study in October 2012 to learn more about people’s car buying and car financing habits. They repeated the survey in June 2013 and saw some distinct differences:

    18% of all those questioned are planning to buy a vehicle in the next 12 months – this is a 7% decrease since October last year;
    15% plan to pay in cash or by using savings – this is a huge decrease from the previous 73%, suggesting that cash and savings are not so readily available;
    9% more males plan to use car finance or go to a bank compared to females – this is a stark contrast to the previous survey where women were more likely to opt for car finance (24% planned to use car finance or go to a bank compared to 16% of males).
Emily Henshall, Marketing Manager at Carfinance247.co.uk, says: “Rerunning this survey after 8 months has shown how volatile the car buying market can be in a short period of time. Less people are looking to purchase a vehicle, and with cash and savings being depleted, men, in particular, are recognising other options such as car finance.”
