The Government'ss new scrappage scheme which offers motorists 's163;2000 for cars over eight years old against a new vehicle combined with huge reductions at dealerships across the UK means now could be the perfect time to snap up a bargain.
However, Swinton, which has seen a 10% increase in the number of enquiries to insure a brand new car in the last month, is warning potential buyers to get a car insurance quote before
making a purchase to avoid paying more than they originally planned.
Steve Chelton, insurer development manager at Swinton said: It'ss tempting with all the incentives being offered to buy a brand new or higher spec vehicle but it is vital that motorists
do their maths before making a purchase to see how much the vehicle will cost to insure and whether the vehicle falls into a higher tax bracket.
We would advise speaking to your local broker who will provide you with the most appropriate cheap car insurance (http://www.swinton.co.uk/car/) quote in terms of value and cover.
