Used car prices rally as scrappage scheme runs out of money

Used car prices rally, new cars sales up

August brought a double dose of good news for the UK motor industry and consumers. Used car values continued to climb, with vehicles up in price by an average of £195 compared to July. So if you're thinking of selling, now is the optimum time to make the most of price rises before Autumn depreciation sets in.

Sales of new cars also leapt by 6% compared to last year fuelled in part by the scrappage scheme. With Government cash dwindling however, used car prices are set to fall as the supply of bargain runabouts previously destined for the crusher return to the markets.

Why not join thousands of people turning to webuyanycar.com to get rid of their old car quickly, securely and hassle-free?

Peugeot RCZ to rival Audi TT

After its sizzling debut as a concept car at the Frankfurt Motor Show two years ago, the Peugeot RCZ goes on sale in Spring 2010 as a rival to the all-conquering Audi TT.

Remaining true to its concept roots, this car certainly looks the part.  Beneath the sleek outer, the RCZ is bursting with joie de vivre.  A choice of three engines is topped by a 200bhp 1.6 version, which gets you from 0-62mph in just 7.6 seconds.

Just as impressive are the 39.9mpg fuel consumption figures and tax-friendly CO2 emissions of just 159g/km.

Prices are under wraps but you can expect to get change from £20,000.  Oh la la!

Born again Lotus Esprit gets V10 makeover

Born again Esprit gets V10 makeover

If you've got fond memories of James Bond's Lotus Esprit in the Spy Who Loved Me, here's something to look forward to.  Taking its cue from the wedge shaped Bond mobile; the stylish new Lotus Esprit has the Ferrari F403, Lamborghini Gallardo and Audi R8 firmly in its sights.

With a choice of 6, 8 and 10 cylinders, the top of the range model boasts a thunderous 550bhp power output fuelled by a 4.8 litre engine.  An expected 0-60 mph time of less than four seconds puts the Esprit up there with the fastest of the fast.  Entry level is at £75,000 rising to an eye-watering £150,000 for the V10.  For that price, you'd think it might go underwater like the 007 original!
