Recent press coverage fuel the debates of an economic recovery or to some the next consumer spending addiction. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-29503364 ............ Everybody knows an expert who'll tell you why sales across the UK are booming....... September registrations, cheap lease deals, overproduction, desperation, keeping the factories open - yes I hear all of these most days!
However there are so many reasons that it's really hard to pin point in such a vast and global industry it's also difficult to identify our relatively small drop of an operation in Rochdale along the 'boom' reported, although I will add that we are busy and seeing the trends played out to be roughly correct. I will also say that nearly every dealer that I speak to is extremely busy and working hard on finding the next deal for companies like ours to promote to our customers. So the rhetoric is positive but why?
One comment I heard recently is "Leasing a car is like a mobile phone contract, you pick your car, pay by Direct Debit then change it at the end of the contract" - that person got me seriously thinking!!
Anthony K Associates have supplied cars and vans to businesses and consumers since 1995. I believe two of the biggest factors driving growth in personal vehicle leasing which seems to be making new cars more affordable to more people are:
1) The internet - vehicle leasing brokers like ourselves have raised the profile of leasing brand new cars, with little fuss and without trawling dealerships more often than not at much better rates than the local dealers. You can jump online and compare most makes and models and the monthly costs in just a click of a mouse. In fact www.anthonyk.co.uk has around 10,000 live deals at any one time. However buyer beware some brokers are better than others, look out for links to the BVRLA (our trade body) and if deals look misleading go elsewhere.
2) The local dealers have started advertising and talking in prices per month rather than the traditional cash price. This massive shift in marketing means the consumer is less confused.
In many ways this is helping the public become educated that the idea of never 'owning' the vehicle is actually not a disadvantage. Businesses have known this for years.
Combine these two and all of a sudden it's not just the savvy consumer or business leasing their vehicles. I believe the best place to go for a good deal is a reputable broker - the worst case scenario is they can match the best dealer offers. The best scenario is they'll find you a deal not available anywhere else.
Finally VW and Audi Join The Party
From October 1st 2014 Anthony K Vehicle Leasing can now offer Audi and VW deals at the same prices to consumer as we do business - pricing includes VAT for consumers. Why not take a look. We work with dozens of dealers for each brand to make sure we get the best rates and have access to stock. I personally believe that if I can't find you a car it probably doesn't exist - that's the beauty of our reach, one phone call gives you access to thousands of offers and a national network of suppliers.
