Female drivers can benefit from "great" finance deals

Female drivers who are thinking of buying a new car can currently get some "great" finance deals, it has been suggested.

Geraldine Kilkelly is head of research and chief economist at the Finance and Leasing Association. She commented on new figures that showed an increase in the number of people using motor finance from dealers to purchase their next motor.

Data for May 2009 showed the smallest drop in eight months and 52.9 per cent of drivers chose this method to buy a car in the last year.

"This reflects the great finance deals currently on offer to help consumers buy a new or used car," Ms Kilkelly said. "It is encouraging."

Meanwhile, a survey recently undertaken by Vauxhall may encourage those behind the wheel to keep up to date with car checks and servicing.

The research found 47 per cent of people aged 18 to 24 did not know they could choose where to take their car for repairs - rather than settle for the place nominated by an insurer.
