With the UK now in the grip of the Coronavirus crisis and full lockdown, the way we live has changed temporarily beyond all recognition.

With signs that the pandemic may be starting to ease very slowly, talk is already of when we can get back to normal.

But what is ‘normal’ post-coronavirus? Can we be sure that life will ever return to exactly the way we remember it before March 2020?

The ever-resilient car industry has, along with much of the country’s shattered economy, found ways to try and operate through these toughest of times where we are restricted to leaving our homes and, when we can, forced to observe strict social distancing measures.

This has made the usually enjoyable and personable experience of shopping for and test-driving a new vehicle a thing of the past – at least for the forseeable future.

Even when the country is finally free from the grip of the virus and all its associated restrictions, social distancing measures are expected to be in force in some way, meaning that buying a car will be very different for a while yet.

Already however we are seeing some of the UK’s leading car sales outlets offering to literally go the extra mile when it comes to allowing you to buy a new vehicle during these strange times.

Many are offering a free no-contact delivery service to your door with no obligation 14-day approval period. It’s already possible to buy a new car as easily as ordering a takeaway pizza.

We at Match Me Car Finance are also adapting to new ways to ensure our customers are able to continue to shop for cars – and car finance – as easily as ever.
