    Why is The Sun blocked out? Is that considered a swear word?

      The extra idiotic statement is the "it's worth £7-8k but I'll only get £2k scrappage". Then sell it privately you lemon.

        I got more for my old Audi than it was worth on the open market. Win, win... except I then had to buy another car.

          Couldn't they have found better examples than a person who is earning a decent living and a person with a decent pension?

              How hard can it be?
              - get a 'compliant' car
              - get a pre-1973 car
              - get the heck out of the London area

                It's worth f-all if he sells it in London, or indeed anywhere else with an emissions based charging scheme. So the market price of a non-ULEZ vehicle is way less than the scrappage value (since you can only get the scrappage value if you actually live in London). Effectively, it's close to worthless, because no trader wants to be landed with a car which he can't sell in London, or to anyone who may want to drive into London. Scrapping a car which is less than 10 years old isn't very 'green', but as we know it's nothing to do with being 'green'.

                  correct which is why he is still better off selling it on the private market rather than the scrapage scheme. The fact he has left it so late that the market is flooded and with none compliant vehicles is very much his problem. I need to replace my none compliant car with probably another none compliant one so will be wa4ching the market closely for a bargain
