OK which one of you ULEZ snowflakes is this?

Does not say much about his wife's car though? Perhaps he could use that on the weekends.

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'.

And there's loads of places outside of that London where it could be sold for what he considers to be market value. It might take a little bit of effort but its not impossible. Just another lazy person who ignored the past years' worth of messaging. As soon as it was announced, I checked if my car was compliant and would have done something about it there and then.

Whilst I believe the ULEZ expansion is a revenue earning scheme to plug the gap in TfL's finances, and has nothing to do with the so-called benefits, there is no excuse for people like the two examples shown to have done something about it in plenty of time. They could easily have afforded to sort it out a year ago.

As he lives in Cockfosters he likely works in Hertfordshire or Buckinghamshire.

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

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

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

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

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.
