2ed Hand Scrappage

chirodoody · 2010-03-06 20:41:03

Just wondering what people think one should be looking for on a second hand car with scrappage (a 10 year old polo classic)? It seems to me better value to get a 2ed hand car if dealer is offering scrappage. I'm just curious what figure should you expect to get?

Scrappage is only offered on brand new cars; I'm afraid.

Yes I know technically the government scrappage is only for new cars but some dealers/garages are offering scrappage deals on their used cars.
The amount offered can vary, but what it amounts to is basically a trade in.
I'm just wondering is it better value to get a second hand car (eg 2008/9) with a scrappage discount of perhaps 2-3k than buying a new car for perhaps 5/6k more.
