September number plate change: great time to buy a new car

‘September’s “56” number plate change means it is a prime time to buy a new car,’ said Sue Robinson, Director of the RMI National Franchised Dealers Association, part of the Retail Motor Industry Federation.

‘September brings the second of the year’s number plate changes, and offers a perfect opportunity to get a great deal on a new vehicle. The quality of modern cars, the purchasing deals like free insurance, zero per cent finance available from some manufacturers and very attractive prices all add up to a package to satisfy buyers across the spectrum of customer needs.’

Robinson added: ‘When you buy a new car from an RMIF member this September with a “56” registration, you should be able to get a fair part exchange deal on your traded-in car.

‘To locate reputable dealers and garages, consumers can call the RMIF Motorline – 08457 58 53 50 – to find out where their nearest RMIF businesses are located, or they can browse the “Find a Service” online facility on www.rmif.co.uk’

Robinson ended: ‘A visit to a car showroom this September is a real must for anyone looking to upgrade to a new model. The RMIF is always on hand to help, giving consumers the opportunity to easily locate businesses they can trust.’
