Ford and Vauxhall have both said their UK car prices are going up, despite falling sales and news of government measures to support the sector >:(

Which is standard market practice for a well run company when times are hard.....reduce output and increase margins by raising prices.

Price reductions are the road to ruin.....lower output, lower price and make break all (even losses) on what you do sell!

I should add that I expect most of it is due to the mega inflation due to the crap Pound:everything-else exchange rate!
