Halifax Loans releases latest motoring news

The latest research from Halifax Unsecured Personal Loans has revealed that younger drivers are more likely to pay for car modifications, women will spend more on upgrades and used cars are a more popular purchase than new.

It also found that the majority of people (59 per cent) use funds from either their current or savings account to buy a car.

A fifth of drivers aged 17 to 24 have spent over £500 on upgrades for their car in the past year, while among all males drivers, modifying their vehicle's engine was the most popular upgrade.

Women tended to opt for a new sound system or satellite navigation when looking at a possible upgrade - they were also likely to spend more on the work at an average of £617.

More than half of the motorists surveyed said they would prefer to buy a second-hand car, which Halifax suggested may be because of the depreciation involved in buying a new car.

Of those not using a current or savings account to finance their next car, 18 per cent would use a bank loan to make the purchase.

Neil Chandler, head of Halifax Unsecured Personal Loans, said: "Whatever your reason for taking an unsecured personal loan, with Halifax you'll have no monthly repayments for the first three months."

In other news, Halifax reported last week that 2007 had seen a record fall in owner-occupation in the UK.
