    There would be no second hand cars if nobody bought new ones.

    If people want a new car that is fine with me and they should get the best deal possible.  That is the money saving element.

    Some on here make it sound like they eat gruel 365 days a year, but I bet they don't.

    End of the outgoing plate is the cheapest time. So like right now / next month if you bought a 20 plate just before the 70 plate gets released, it'll be cheaper than getting the 70 plate.
  • Not sure about the conventional best time to take a lease, but I would be waiting until the end of November when furlough ends. Might find some better deals then.
