Talk Auto #14: The car buying journey: What do UK and European drivers want?
Car buyers want to move seamlessly between online research and the dealership, understand what they can afford each month and trust who they're buying from. In this episode of Talk Auto, Holly and Rich are joined by Paul Hyne, a retail and finance expert with experience working for brands like Lloyds Banking Group and Arval, to explore what UK and European drivers really want from the car buying journey.
Drawing on Codeweavers' research with 5,000 car buyers across the UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy, the conversation looks at car finance market trends across Europe. From affordability tools early in the research stage, to reassurance at the point of commitment. They also discuss why interest in finance doesn't always lead to take-up, and what lenders, retailers and OEMs can do to build consumer confidence.
