New Diesel Scrappage Scheme
#1
It seems a new scheme is being considered.

How many of you will be lining up for £2000 to put towards a new car?

It doesn't say what Euro spec engines are involved.I would suspect it's pre Euro 3.

In light of Brexit maybe an extra financial scrappage incentive could be made available if you buy a British made car to help boost our economy ??

If I get £2,000.00 of for putting in my £1,000.00 car I will only be £1,000.00 in pocket.....oh hang on, I'll have to spend £10-15k to get that.

If I do scrappage I will be £9-14K out of pocket, how many years will break even be.

I think the people who buy expensive cars and vans may be tempted but us tight buggers that buy Citroen they stand no chance with  Big Grin

The last scrappage scheme a few years back caused my wife to consider a p/ex as the deal would have been advantageous but the accompanying list price hikes at the main dealers negated the worth of it so we never bothered.
I'm unlikely to bother this time around.

Perhaps drivers of old bangers should be required to donate a lung for transplant if they want to keep killing everyone else.


Certainly not, more a case of the well off new car buyers should subsidise it as clearly they can afford it .... 

... and then we wouldn't need lung transplants ....


Maybe all folks who don't generate their own electricity should donate another £500 a year with increments to cater for cleaner energy generation and nuclear clean up ...

I reckon the time is coming when something pretty radical will happen, as old diesels are directly harming people.  This isn't about global warming, protecting newts or far-fetched theories - they spew out poison that harms people, and nobody denies this.


 Quite right too and the argument will be over who pays and how which is why I said ... 

 " the well off new car buyers should subsidise it as clearly they can afford it "

 We are all entering a fairer society according to the Prime Minister perhaps this will be part of her notion of fairness ?
