    most car manufacturers are still on leave this week, Aston aren't a special case.

    Yeah and quite a lot of them will still be on leave next month and next year - unpaid leave on a permanant basis. This recessions going to be a long and bloody awful one.
  • Its when one of the biggies tumble that we know its got a whole lot worse....... any day/week now :(

    My guesses would be Vauxhall, upon the demise of GM.

    Vauxhall cars will continue to be sold here under the Opel brand. Maybe.

    I think Ford will survive.

    Working in the industry, I hope you're wrong and volumes are still there to keep the industry going at present (imo). If we see further reductions in forecasted volumes then we could really see some major OEM struggling!

    Will try not to mention the effect of the £ on purchasing most of these materials from Europe for any British Manufacturers :( If only we were in the euro if would be a lot less painless! Most commodity prices are falling but with the weakening of the pound we cant really take advantage of it! :mad: I think that's !!!!!!ing us up as much as anything. Although I guess on the positive side it's now cheaper to support an ailing British company when a euro buys you 90p then it cost to support a British company when a euro only bought you 65p..

  • P.S. the other week I know someone who picked up an 08 plate with 800 miles on the clock for low £40's (this is a n £88k car).

    Where did they get that from?
    Cheers
  • Believe it or not it was from a DEALER. Was advertised at just over 50 (and a true bargain at that) and they got it for low 40's.
