Concept Car Credit Strengthens Position in Used Car Finance

Stable sales the result of a wide range of models and innovative car finance brokering

Manchester (Advertiser Talk) 20-Jan-2010 — After the closure of competitor “Welcome Car Finance”, Concept Car Credit announced today that their position in the field of car finance and second hand cars had considerably strengthened. Bucking recent downward trends in the industry due to increasingly risk-averse banks keeping the supply of loans low, demand for the company’s services in car finance had remained rock-solid over recent months.

“Finance acceptance rates have fallen to as low as 10%, denying the vast majority of our customers the ability to upgrade their old car”, said Des Porter, Concept Car Credit’s Managing Director. “Although there have been many casualties in the used car and car finance arenas, we believe that we can come out the other side as an even stronger, more efficient business”.

Finance acceptance rates have fallen to as low as 10%, denying the vast majority of our customers the ability to upgrade their old car Although there have been many casualties in the used car and car finance arenas, we believe that we can come out the other side as an even stronger, more efficient business Smaller, low emission, fuel efficient cars are very popular at the moment and we sell a large number of Ford Focus and Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and Astra, Fiat Punto and Renault Megane, particularly the smaller engine, diesel models. Seven-seaters are also in-demand at our used car showroom, with Vauxhall Zafira, Ford Galaxy and Renault Grand Scenic the most sought-after Drivers for success have included reducing the price of used cars below the official motor industry valuations, professionally referred to as “Glass’s retail value”, as well as undertaking more detailed reviews of every applicant’s current residential, employment, marital and financial position. Offering customers an unusually wide range of models at Concept’s used car showroom has constituted another key factor.

Pushing the drive for innovation on the hard-fought market for used cars and finance, Concept Car Credit Manchester also announced they were considering setting up their own finance book in the event that the availability of credit for customers did not considerably improve in the next 12 months.
