    Are there any manufacturers/dealers currently doing scrappage trade in deals for an 8 year old car? I know Renault were doing it last year but was just wondering if anywhere else is currently doing deals? I presume the gov't scheme still only applies for cars 10yrs+

    Thanks guys.

    since they stopped making them with metal.

    cars these days have a limited shelf life - yes...in general ...if well taken care of a car will last ...but anything could make a small problem into a huge financial outlay.

    You'll struggle to find a 2003 non crashed car that fits that description really.
