Cramlington, Northumberland -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/01/2015 -- The changes to pension rules that come into force this month could be good news for the car business, says Cramlington-based dealer.

The new rules allowing over 55s to take tax-free cash out of their pension funds could lead to many older people deciding to buy a car. Although government ministers joked about pensioners going out to buy Lamborghinis, there is a serious side.

The ability to take money from their pensions could see many older people looking to buy a new or nearly-new car as a purchase to "see them out", but it could also mean a boost in convertible sales as people opt for something like an MX-5 to provide a little retirement fun.

With cash in their pockets, these buyers will be less likely to opt for finance and leasing deals on their cars and will be keen to negotiate a good deal on their purchase. Even for those not spending their pension pots when shopping for used cars Northumberland dealer Alex Scott Cars has a good range of vehicles to suit buyers of all ages.

Just don't be surprised when you see a line of shiny convertibles emerging from your local retirement village.
