How To Cut Car Costs In The Credit Crunch

Buying a cheap car isn’t enough.

That’s called sufficing. In other words, that’ll do, near enough.

But it’s not enough. Not now. Not in the credit crunch.

To be sure, you have to maximise. Do more than enough. Get more savings than is enough. We’ve been maxing out on just about everything else this millennium. So let’s now max our savings.

What about car insurance, the tax on your windscreen, the price of petrol, and servicing.

There’s no love lost with your car insurance company. If you’re loyal, they’ll screw you – allegedly. That’s what relationships do for you. So what’s the lowest car insurance group? Is there a car insurance group 1?

Who’s not worried about rising vehicle excise duty? Worried! Most are plain pissed-off. So what cars have CO2 emissions below 120 so you only have to pay £35 per year to put a road fund licence on your windscreen?

How about car fuel? 121p for petrol. 133 for diesel. Well they know what to do with diesel. It’s the feeling the oil companies are taking advantage and the government are letting them get away with it because it means more tax in their self-interested coffers. If you can get back at them and cut fuel costs you kill two vultures with one stone.

Then there are those bad-guys down at your local garage who’ll rip you off at every opportunity when your car needs servicing. Are there any good-guys?
