摘要：	The cost-of-living crisis is having a significant impact on 70% of new and used car buying decisions as a result of the rising costs facing UK households, with one-in-five buyers claiming they will delay their next purchase. Research by eBay Motors Group* indicates that the rise in energy bills prompted nearly a quarter (23%) to say they will delay their next car purchase, while a further 29% will now buy a cheaper car and 20% will buy a smaller one. However, 28% say the rise would not influence their decision. When asked how the general cost-of-living increases would affect their next car purchase, a similar trend emerged with 23% saying they will delay, 30% saying they will buy a cheaper car and 19% now looking for a smaller car. More than a quarter (27%) say it will not have any influence. The rising cost of fuel has impacted the decisions of 70% of buyers, most say they will go ahead and buy with 28% opting for a cheaper car and 23% a smaller car, while 19% will delay their purchase. However, 31% say these rises will have no effect.
