More people opting for gas-guzzling used cars

The latest used car sales statistics released by Experian on 22 January have revealed that there has been a slight shift towards bigger cars during the third quarter of 2006, suggesting that cost conscious used car buyers are perhaps not as prudent or environmentally friendly as they might think they are.

Experian's Managing Director of the Automotive division, Rob Whalley believes that: "[The] increase in sales of older used cars that have larger engines, use more fuel and usually have higher CO2 emissions, is at odds with concerns for both the environment and the costs of running a car."

He concluded by saying that increased taxes and fuel prices have caused large car prices to drop further.


This certainly mirrors the 'car searches' that we have seen at Desperate Seller.co.uk.
