Ford are going to be raising the prices of their cars for the fourth year in a row this year which is pretty silly. They are blaming it on the value of the pound and because they are a company working in Euros they are obviously seeing the effect of the recession. Could this just be a very simple excuse to put the prices up again?
Well the real likelihood is, not very likely no simply because they have already put the prices of their cars up three times meaning that now they are really just being a bit greedy more than anything else. Of course it is not exactly uncommon for the big companies to go down this route for a bit of extra money from each customer. However when you look at another 2.7% increase on all of their new cars which means you are going to be spending a lot more money on that new Ford car in fact it would be that if the car is setting you back at £10000 it would actually now cost you areound £11600 which is a massive increase.
I really do not understand how companies are allowed to get away with doing things like this. However companies such as Audi are selling a fair few used cars trying to push through their competitors like Ford. To be honest the lost of 800 jobs in Ford in the UK is not surprising when they are charging prices like this to their customers.
So here’s to buying a new Audi over a ford because it looks like the “>Audi TT Roadster are going to be a hell of a lot cheaper than the costs that Ford are beginning to throw at the British public. The best thing to do here is to actually fight the system and just not buy from them.
