Gone baby gone Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 How would the average homebuyers manage to save up those massive deposits without cutting back on the little luxuries, like a new car every 3 years, or seomthing a little bit sporty to enjoy before you have kids?

A great % of new cars over the past few years have been funded by MEW.The area where I live in Sussex is probably where the upper end of the car specs are. Nothing for people here to have taken out a mew of 60000 to buy a couple of cars. However if you are a drug dealer in crack den areas the police inform us that they go for 4 wheel drives. As I have said before there soon will be a glut of up market cars as people try and survive the crash by selling their portable assets. Happened in the 90s . If you are under 30 yrs of age please do not reply saying it will be different this time, just go and rest in a dark room until its all over.

IF you can afford the petrol, and I emphasize the IF, there are gonna be a lot of bargain luxury cars on the market in the next few years!
