The fact that dealer sticker prices on nearly new cars that are about to be hit with high levels of VED are falling by the week.
Yes, but that's true for most high-VED rate cars.
Erm, you're confusing the issues here.
Unless it's a cabrio, that's not an issue.
When you know prices are falling, and could quite possibly be hit with a bigger fall due to the VED, then it's a very good plan to wait and see.
Like I say, nothing to lose in doing so but potentially enough to gain to keep it on the road for a year or two.
Depends on if 'having a house' means 'will own it when the mortgage has been paid off' or 'own it outright', really.
Putting £25k into a Porsche when you still owe money on a mortgage is, frankly, bloody stupid - especially whilst rates are rising, deals are hard to find and banks are demanding increasingly large deposits.
Best thing we ever did was clearing the house with a combination of inheritance and making money out of a rising market, rather than putting the money into depreciating toys.
As I have said, that value of 'toy' has attracted the re-mortgagers in recent years, so I'd really be thinking carefully about buying just as a full-on recession hits. Better to sit on the cash until people start to crash and burn.
