Sales of new cars in the UK have fallen by 37 per cent in November, which are the worst sales figures in decades. This proves that customers are strapped for cash, and that the financial troubles are getting much worse than we first thought.
Only 100,333 of new vehicles were registered in the month of November, which is 36.8 per cent lower than the same period last year. Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce and Jaguar Land Rover are already feeling the effects of the fall in car sales, and have introduced Christmas shutdowns.
Aston Martin has already announced that they are to axe 600 jobs; Jaguar Land Rover will be laying off 850 IT and engineering staff. Roll-Royce is also axing 40 temporary workers, and have announced that they are extending their Christmas shutdown.
