he'd bebetter of fbuyinga car thats either ex demo or a few months old
much more savings that way!!
my boss just got 12k off the list price of his volve V70 for buying an ex demo with 4k on the clock ok, its a 58 plate instea dof an 09 but who cares!!
I read somewhere that theyreckon the 2k average saved will be worthless in 81 days due to depreciation of the car anyway!!! (Itn news page on yahoo, cant find link tho now)
So i'd say
Stick it to brown, and keep the old cars on the road instead!! lol

he buys a new car every 70k miles, as he is a driving instructor, so in some strange way, the extra ?2000 off helps alot. something to do with tax and stuff! :dontknow:

Stuff like Focus and Astras can be got brand new with ?2000-3000 discount anyway or as mentioned ?3000-?5000+ nearly new.

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

The German scheme was better in that it covered nearly new also. It's the government that should be scrapped!

If you're buying a Mazda2/KA/Fiesta it is definately cheaper to go scrappage. If it is a bigger/more expensive car, go retail.
An example is a Mazda3 2.0D Sport I sold today - ?3300 discount on the car + ?750 for the p/x. Same thing with an MPS I've got, same with the Focus and Mondeo.
If however, your scrapper is worth say ?1800 (a V-reg Focus for example)
it is cheaper to go retail every time.
The pot of money WILL run out though - Ford already have 900 scrappage orders.

but wot mr brown didnt tell you is that the only reason this scheme works in other country's is becuase your only aloud to buy a car thro the scheme that is made in your country so if it was a german scheme you can only get the offer so long as you buy a german car so thats why other countries are able to say oh yes it works! not that im slating german cars im not at all im agrreing with your sack them all comment, they only tell us half a story they love spending tax payers money ON THIER OWN HOMES??jellybelly said
give it a go!!!
but it wouldn't suprise me that MR Brown changes his mind about the whole thing.

hard earned money.
Why bail out the Car companys, DFS, World of leather, MFI,
etc..etc.. have all gone bankrupt at one point or another,
The Government did not offer you ?100 for your old sofa
or kitchen did it???.
Let them sort it out for themselves………… they made enough
profit, just spent it unwisely……….
