I don't think that this scheme is aimed a the environment, mor stimulating the economy. Correct!! I'm glad someone said it, all these schemes are NEVER about the environment, it's always about money. Fair enough supporting local industry in this case, but when it comes to car tax etc it's a joke! On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

To be fair to Darling he is in a lose lose situation. Nothing he could have done today would make anybody happy. Even if he did exactly what the opposition wanted it would be the wrong thing.

It's a total con, no one will go for it, if you've been driving around in a 10 year old car for the last year or so then there is a very good chance that you can't afford to buy a new car regardless of whether or not the government give you £2K.

This is supposedly based on a greener motoring campaign. From back when work had me driving all over the country, I'm of the view that most of the motorway traffic (excluding weekends) is reps in company cars that are only a one or two years old anyway. On 22nd Apr, 2009 apbellamy said:
I guess all the environmentalists out there haven't considered teh impact manufacturing the new cars will have on the environment... Not quite, industry has already made the cars, in fact they've made too many and can't shift them which is one of the things that lead to the financial down turn in the first place.

"Green" sell better then "sex" at the moment. Car advertising used to comprise of semi-naked models. Now they are surrounded by flowers and cutesy animals. Bring back the semi-naked models, they where far more fun to watch and possible more moral. On 22nd Apr, 2009 Mini_Andy said:
i really wish that Mr Darling was lost out at sea. He is really fucking up this country. Everytime he opens his mouth at the minute, it costs me more to get to work! I think half the mess was made by his predecessor. In my opinion Richard Noble has found the right solution, the problem is not the cars it's the cows so all be need to do is eat the cows, not his exact words but pretty close.

I would expect that if you turn up with a £2k 'cheque' from the gorvernment in your back pocket, you'll get no chance of any other discount - I'd expect you would currently get a £1k - £1.5k in some form or another off a new family car at the moment without much problem - more if you are spending more.

Plenty of dealer have already been offering £1k for tradeins anyway. If you think it through it is not great, but in other countries there is some evidence that it has enlivened the car market, so potentially good for jobs I suppose. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

so we are all agreed then, it's all a load of spin bollocks, spun by a world champion spinner who has just come back from the world championship spinnig contests and sucsesfully defended his world championship spinning skills, |

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.
