Wed 11 Nov 2009Ford and Peugeot latest to cut prices for 2010
FORD AND PEUGEOT are the latest brands to cut prices in what is quickly becoming a new car price war on forecourts ahead of the 2010 sales. With estimates putting the potential new car sales at 57,000 for next year and some suggesting that without scrappage they could fall as low as 35,000, the battle is on to secure every new car sale out there.
Ford is announcing upgrading of specification of its core models. The Focus and Mondeo are gaining standard equipment at no extra cost, while there is €5,000 reduced off the Ford Kuga and €3,000 off the Ranger pick-up.
