    Car Scrapping

    Hi, Just wondered people's views were regarding this "plan" that is circulating about the Government announcing that they might bring in the German style scrapping deals for cars over 9 years old.

    My Vauxhall vectra's engine packed in 2 weeks ago and I am debating on if I should get it scrapped now, or hold off for a month or two and see what this new deal is. Does it apply for cars where the engine is in the car, but not working?

    I would be extremely annoyed if I scrap the car for £70 and then find out 2 - 4 weeks later I could have got £1000+ trade in for it.

    Thoughts welcomed..

    Dave

    The Germans have done it happy that their citizens will buy Audis and Mercs. If we did it what possible benefit will this have for our economy. Forget the green issue that is a smokescreen:) Won't happen here!!!!
