Scrappage scheme best buys reviewed

[sang3Eta]

The scrapage scheme was a crime against UK tax payers. China didn't want our paper promises so took the metal instead and the money we borrowed from them left the country too as very few of the qualifying cars are made in the UK .

I would rather have that rover than any other crap cheapo car!

I agree 100%. It's the incessive compulsion to keep up to date, lead by the media that's partly responsble for getting us into the mess we're in. Second hand cars rock, not least becuase after just a few short years they loose a shed load of their value in depreciation even the though car itself is in fantasic condition.

To hell with keeping up with the dreaded mr & mrs Jones.Always buy second hand but not too old.There are some great deals out there.

I was chatting to a friend of mine who works for a leasing company. They'd arrange a deal for one of their clients to purchase a brand new Porche Panamera. It cost the individual an incredible £103,000.00. The same company agreed a deal to buy the car back after just 3 years for... guess how much... £33k. That's a loss of £70k in just 3 years! I agree with you, buy second hand.

All of those cars are shoddy pieces of crap, or they certainly will be in a few years time. I bet NONE of them will last as well as that Rover. On the subject of the Rover, notice how they have purposely choosen a really tatty example.....probably removed the hubcaps them selfs to make it look even worse lol - good cars those 200's.

buy a car that is at least made in europe otherwise all your money is going to the other side of the world.

Fiat Panda made in europe , simple

korean car manufacturers couldnt care less about UK and europe so dont give them your hard earned cash!

When will the planet realise it is producing far more cars than there are buyers for. A 10 year old car is NOT old and it is disgraceful to scrap it.

Shut up and get a life u smelly old man

[ash7990]

@joshieboi005  idiotic thing to say.

[ash7990]

@bayhoecott. I completely agree - 10 years is nothing for most cars providing it is looked after well. My year 2000 Rover 45 1.8 has now done 140k miles and its quiet, smooth, comfortable, powerful.....probably got another 10 years of life left in it!

I have heard that since the scrappage scheme began some manufacturers have hiked prices up. Unsuspecting consumers are believing they are getting a good deal because they think they are getting £2000 off, when in reality they are only getting about £1000 off the price the vehicle was a few months earlier If this is true, then I have no sympathy for struggling car manufacturers and the Government should stop trying to help them with tax payers money.
