Credit Crunch Cars

The credit crunch is really biting now all around the world and it’s one of those times when almost every country is united by their falling shares, devoted finance ministers and a nervous public. Jobs are getting scarce and each day on the news all you can hear is big bank names being sailed down the river and government officials promising unity between countries, however what dose this mean for the auto industry?

Already dealers are reporting falling sales, manufacturers are feeling the crunch and for those who like to ad a little bit of sparkle to their ride…well it’s about to become a little bit more difficult.

Prices aren’t falling when it comes to buying auto spares however there are some tricks you can use: Don’t be afraid to get on the phone when ordering things instead of surfing online, you will be surprised about how much you can get off by talking to a real live person. Companies have competitors, and they are competitive! If you dig around for long enough you can often fine the same project for up to 25% less. Finally, buy second hand. All over the country and indeed the world, unfinished projects lie in garages, workshops and back gardens and are eventually broken up and put on eBay for sale.

So there you go, you can beat the credit crunch when your modding your car, just keep an eye on the fuel prices!
