Safe cars for young drivers

June 21st, 2010 in Car Finance

With the school holidays amongst us we will see an increase of people travelling longer distances on our roads, and as such safety is a major concern. We wish to see the road toll reduced and this has been a very hot topic of conversation in the media of late. One issue that is consistently raised is the need for younger drivers to have safer cars. When young people are starting out it can be difficult to find the funds required for a newer model and therefore safer vehicle.

To see if you qualify for car finance on a new or used vehicle speak to a Madison Finance representative on 1300 887 967. We can help put you behind a safe vehicle to provide you with a better and safer driving experience.

End of Financial Year sales come to a close

June 14th, 2010 in Car Finance

We only have a couple of weeks left to the end of the financial year, which means the sales will be coming to a close. Car manufacturers require their dealerships to move their stock to make way for the latest model cars. Budgets are also required to be met by the dealerships so they are eager to clear their stock at reduced prices. Older stock will still be reduced to make way for the latest models once the new year starts but the need to meet end of financial year budgets will mean that the dealerships won’t be discounting like they are now. As such, now is a fantastic time of year to grab yourself a bargain.

If you wish to obtain a quote for car finance speak to one of our friendly representatives on 1300 887 967. We will be able to tailor a finance package to suit your needs, circumstances and budget. With your car finance approved you will be in a position to negotiate a favourable price for your car.

Subaru meet demand for diesel cars

June 9th, 2010 in Car Finance

Subaru introduced a diesel engine for the Outback late last year to curb the demand required from its customers. As a result one in three Outbacks sold are a diesel version, even though they are $2,500 more than the petrol version. This has shown Subaru that there certainly is a demand for diesel vehicles. To further meet the demands of their customers Subaru are introducing a diesel version of the Forester, a cheaper vehicle than the Outback. The diesel Forester will go on sale this month, just in time for the snow season.

If you are looking to purchase a diesel powered vehicle and require car finance speak to a Madison Finance representative on 1300 887 967 to arrange pre-approval.

Exceeding the improving retail figures are sales of new motor vehicles which have surged an excellent 8 percent in the last set of monthly figures. This was in sharp contrast to the previous month’s 3 percent decline and up an incredible 29 percent on the equivalent period last year. Car finance is now readily available which has also helped to improve retail figures. The boost in the economy with greater consumer confidence has certainly helped the increase in car sales.
