The Motor Trade would have you believe that there has been significant reductions in car prices, but is that enough? To many people in the present financial meltdown, even lower prices are not low enough. One answer would be to buy privately. The odd bargain can be had if you know what you are looking for, and you have good negotiating skills. Another option however, would be a motor auction.
