Topics: Jaguar leasing, car leasing, car hire, vehicle solutions
Car sales may have managed to avoid the effects of the credit crunch up until now but there are signs that this is about to change. 2008 has proved a difficult time for the motor industry. As well as other considerations like the price of fuel and an increasing emphasis on greener more fuel efficient and ecologically friendly products car manufacturers and owners have had to take a long hard look at their behavior and face some difficult decisions.
2009 looks like it will continue in the same vain. Predictions are varied but some say that next year could see 0% growth in new car sales. With the credit crunch now well and truly being felt across the board and with no let up in sight, everyone is having to reassess their behavior and adjust their short term and long term plans accordingly.
The executive car market is set to suffer over the coming months as the first things to be put on hold or even cancelled completely are almost always luxury items. Whether it’s the choice between buying a twenty pound shirt and a hundred pound shirt or buying a hardback or paperback book we are all having to answer questions that we didn’t have only a few years ago. Car leasing companies are no different.
Perhaps one question that will be asked increasingly over the coming months is ’shall I hire or buy?’. In light of this and the economic gloom, car leasing companies, it seems, are offering more products and more services to accommodate increasingly particular customers. As well as new car lease and hire, many companies now offer a used care service as well. But sometimes a new car is what is needed to create the right impression. Here are examples from three leading manufacturers of what is available from leasing companies.
Jaguar leasing - The Jaguar X-Type Diesel Saloon manages to stay true to the classic look of the X-Type without looking retro or out of place. The interior is everything you’d expect from a Jag’; beautifully finished throughout with a real feeling of class. The controls and LCD panels are larger than those of many of its competitors which make them easy to distinguish but may be too big for those looking for something a bit more modern and dynamic looking. Driving the vehicle is smooth and almost effortless. It may not be the most refined drive, you still know you’re in a diesel, but there’s power when you need it and if your set on Jaguar leasing then it is certainly worth a look.
Mercedes leasing - The Mercedes-Benz S Class Diesel Saloon is complete luxury. With fifty years of history and development behind it you’d expect nothing less from the S-Class. The interior is roomy and a lot of thought has gone into the design of the instruments both ergonomically and aesthetically. It’s probably one of the most user friendly cars in its class. With the added advantage of being economical without sacrificing power it’s sure to fair well in the leasing market.
BMW leasing - The BMW 1 Series Diesel Coupe has a drastically improved new high performance engine. BMW have achieved an impressive balance between top end performance and fuel efficiency. The combination of balanced handling and an engine that responds well in all conditions makes the BMW a serious contender in its class. The fact that it is lighter and less expensive than many of its rivals makes it a very attractive proposition indeed.
