Could be some bargains here.

 

All Seized untaxed etc... cars and bikes are now to be sold at auction, only stuff under 8 years old and all with keys etc...

Not sure why it would be any cheaper than the same cars sold at any auction?

if snached back won't have any history, books ,ect.

If you're only spending £500 on a car, history is pretty much irrelevant as long as it drives and looks ok. V5 can be applied for.

Apparently all come with a V5 and new cut keys if needed

don't understand why they are scrapping the 2k cash back cars either, a lot of them must be good cars and environmently unfriendly to waste them!

There is a mustang :)

Completely agree. I saw an X reg Corolla the other day on a Honda forecourt with the £2k Scrappage stickers all over it. Very clean car. No reason to scrap it what so ever. Will have low emissions, be packed with safety features.

never understood how this has been sold as a good thing the the public at all.

 

1. You can sell the car and get deal on a pre reg motor with more than 2K knocked off anyway, then use the money from the sold car.:headvswal

 

2. It aint very green as every car scrapped needs to be replaced with a new one, then you have the pollution of getting rid of the old one, added to the manufacturing of the new one.:headvswal

 

3. it's taking away work from mechanics who would have to service and repair the old cars.:headvswal

 

4. the majority of people doing this are opting for cheap korean motors, which is taking away from manufacturers who provide jobs in the UK.:headvswal

 

yet for some reason it has taken off, just proves how gullible some people are:confused:

 

5. It's a nice ploy for the Government to get a lump of VAT from the purchase of a new car.:rant:

The scrappage scheme is a joke. For the reaons above, but also The people using it are those that can afford new cars, so will own fairly decent not that old cars, most likely well maintained becuase they can afford to do so. Cars like the X-reg Corolla si mentioned.

 

However, It does not get rid of the old bangers owned by people that can not afford to maintain them or buy a new car.

Auction was Tuesday, I think that's just what didn't sell

i have said this all along!!!

if i could afford to buy a new car i would have and taking 2k off the price makes no difference to me as i still cant afford a new car!! and there is no point to the only cars that people are buying because its not that practical to get a family run about that only seats 2 adults and half a child!!

 

just government guff to cover what they have wasted on wars and the wages that they pay those bloody traffic wombles i keep trying to run over on the motorway in my lorry!!!!
