    Put it this way

    Car prices have gone up over 2k in the past year. It's basically a scam.

    The car has to have been in your name for at least 12 months and be over 10 years old.

    It must be a new car and must be taxed, tested and registered to you for twelve months plus.

    Watch out for prices that have been bumped up in anticipation of the govenment bailing out the car inductry.

    I'd just nationalise the feckers...

    Are we allowed to nationalise foreign car manufacturers?

    Aye, its a load of crap - you may get £2K off the list price off a car, but only a fool would buy at list price.

    You can normally negotiate 17%+ off the list price anyway.

    and how would you register that contribution ?

    ... by some form of credit that could be exchanged... a kind of bill of exchange that could be used to acquire goods ? ie MONEY !!!

    Its not really such a great deal

    Your car has to be over 10 years old and have an MOT
    you must have owned it for at least 12 months
    You can only use it against a brand new car

    The idea is the government puts forward £1000 and the motor trader puts up the other £1000

    You could have for most cars over £10000 list price got a £2000 discount anyway. You could get Astra's with £6000 off list recently

    In practice it will make no difference to the price you pay for a new car

    How many people driving cars over 10 years old buy a brand new car anyway.

    Smoke, Mirrors and spin as usual

    What I don't understand

    is that it seems logical to me that people who run 10+ year old bangers don't, in general, have the money to buy new cars with or without 2k off. If they did, there's a fair chance they wouldn't be driving a 10+ year old banger in the first place. (dunno)

    Obviously I'm missing a trick somewhere as its been successful in other countries.

    I see that when money is the issue

    all the environmental concerns fly out the window. You'd think that selling less cars would be a good thing. The question that should be asked is how did car manufacturers get so big that we can't allow them to fold without causing catastrophic unemployment?

    I dont understand how the government can force car companies to give customers £1000 for an old car

    They have basically made it law to offer a minimum £1000 part exchange for any car over 10 years old whilst a 9 year old car might only get a couple of hundred quid part ex.

    Well done labour, penalising those that were trying and giving a huge cash bonus to those who didnt care what they drove.
