Car scrappage - £2,000.

£2,000 "gift" to scrap your 10-year-old car and buy another, under the guise of "Environmentalism".

What piffle.

Talking Re: Car scrappage - £2,000.

Sorry no one is going to scrap my 1973 Camaro of which I'm the original owner. They can keep their money I will keep my car.

Environmentalism?! It was for the motor companies. You can buy any vehicle to qualify as long as it's a new one and yours is over 10 years old.

Re: Car scrappage - £2,000.

I have a 9 yr old car with 46,000 miles on the clock. What a terrrible waste to scrap it......and I still couldn't afford a new one even with a 2 grand discount.
