Re: Tired
Before the world shut down expensive cars had a slowdown due to Trump battles in the US and in China due to their dispute with Trump. Whether EU car manufacturers can pass a 10% increase onto customers remains to be seen. People i know have received a hefty discount buying German cars online, or buying pre-registered (under 20 miles). Then there is the contract market that has grown in recent years where owners can hand back the car after 2 years.
Bear in mind also that German cars are price-inflated in UK (known as Treasure Island) so they can easily absorb the 10%. Not only that, what effect would 10% have on the monthly payments - not enough for most buyers to think again (sorry, should have said 'renters') Very few of the German car makers offer zero % finance anyway - their interest rates on new cars vary between 5 and 11% (*sweeping statement alert).
I think a problem will arise soon when renters won't be able to cover the payments on existing deals, let alone rent a new car. This won't be very much to do with Brexit and tariffs.
