I am sure opinions are divided, will we just see the money go out of the country and a sudden influx of cheap small foreign vehicles to meet demand Do you haggle the price right down until the salesman is on his his knees, then tell him you want your 2 grand off as well? Or do you tell them up front, with the salesman resisting any haggling on the showroom price? Is this all smoke an mirrors, i am sure on some of the bigger more expensive vehicles they would probably give you more than 2 grand off anyway Peter PS: I was thinking earlier, what ever happened to MG Rover and the new MGTF sports car?

From what I have read - The scheme will see the Government offer a £1,000 incentive, to be matched by participating vehicle manufacturers. When scrapping a taxed, insured and MoT’d car or van up to 3.5 tonnes over 10 years old which they have owned for at least one year. The registered keeper must have a UK address to take part in the scheme. This probably explains the increase in prices by a few manufactures recently Graham
