    Nothing confirmed yet but I would expect the industry to lobby for an extension over the first quarter.

    Any ideas whether scheme might be continued beyond June 2011.

    Not really - people are back to buying cars and most of these are for small poxy things which are predominantly diesel with a low VRT. The gain from the sale would be low. Most people likely to buy a new car will more than likely do so anyhow regardless of the scrappage IMO.

    Are they though.

    We have bought the following new in Cork over the years

    17/3/95: 95 C 52xx
    2x/7/95: 95 C 97xx
    1x/06/00: 00 C 246xx
    1x/02/02: 02 C 54xx
    2x/04/11: 11 C 74xx

    Obviously no direct comparators, but it seems to me that things are close to mid 90's levels still in Cork.

    I didn't suggest they were back at their pre-Bertie-ballsed-up-the-economy level but they are still rising:
    New car sales up 14% this year
    New car sales rise 5.75% in first quarter
