Going to buck the trend a bit with this post here, but my stepdad got a good deal out of the "scrappage" his Mk1 Clio which has been on its last legs since he meet my Mum nearly three years recently decided to spit out its dummy and dump all the oil all over the hard shoulder of the motorway. It got towed to a nearby garage and after hming and haing they decided it was in need for a new engine. Now this clio is getting on 150,000 which isn't bad for some rattly french thing, but its not worth a new engine. So he went to V*****ll and traded his Clio in for a new A***a, he paid his sister £2,000 eleven years ago for that Clio. Not a bad deal, even thou he got a Vauxhall!
Also some of these scrappage cars are being taken to breakers yards for bits, as the big one near me had lots in. When I asked about them he said he was breaking them for bits, as long as the Dealer has a certifacte of scrap then they can do what they like with them.
