'Tis The Season to Be Jolly

LONDON – December 30, 2009: The sales are well underway and recent reports suggest that bargain hunters have been out in force since Boxing Day.

The keen shoppers aren’t just hitting the sales on the high street; a record number of bargain-hungry motorists are making their way to one of the 11 Carcraft showrooms across the country.

The UK’s largest used car hypermarket chain has seen a record number of car buyers rushing to get their hands on a top deal in the first few days of Carcraft’s Big Sale.

Mike Walsh, Sales Director at Carcraft said: "Despite some initial gloomy retail predictions for the Christmas/New Year period, customers are proving that they are still in the market for a great deal – whether it’s clothing, household goods or cars. It’s encouraging to see that our showrooms continue to attract more visitors year on year as we head into the New Year.”

"The Big Sale, which continues until the end of January, is a superb incentive for buyers who want to take advantage of great savings on thousands of the most popular makes and models. With the current big freeze across the country, 4x4s are proving to be extremely popular! Our choice of 7 flexible ways to pay coupled with our ‘drive away the same day’ facility is helping to ensure that motorists don’t have to wait for their new car too.”

Carcraft’s Service Centres are also seeing a boost with the colder weather encouraging motorists to ensure that their cars are serviced and equipped for the wintry driving conditions. The Service Centres are currently promoting a New Year special offer of a free MOT when an interim or premium service is booked at the same time. Just call 0845 400 9685 to book.

All in all motorists can look forward to a great package whether they are purchasing their next car or looking after their current one at Carcraft.
