Tempest 0 Posted May 26, 2009 Browsing on the website for the NEC Classic Car Show (looking for more forms to download and complete for our stand at the event this year), I came across this interesting little article: http://www.necclassicmotorshow.com/news_stories.php?id=60 That then led me to the full article at the Dep-O website, where 2 further articles are of great interest, as they come from 2 very respectable sources, the FT and the BBC: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/49246acc-25e7-11de-be57-00144feabdc0.html?nclick_check=1 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8003508.stm Interesting stuff :study: Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leonard 0 Posted May 26, 2009 Well i have signed the petition. New car scrappage scheme doesnt make any sense to me, nor any of the car dealers I speak to :cuckoo: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted May 27, 2009 signed the petition too.... As soon as I heard about this scrappage incentive, I realised two things; 1) second hand parts for 10+ year old cars are gonna get silly cheap 8) 2) Any decent cars that are likely to become classics are gonna get silly expensive 'cos of the muppets who scrap 'em to get a couple of grand of a new POS car... :brickwall: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And as a result of less older cars demand for parts will decrease so prices will rise??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah, they can still take parts off with the scrappage incentive, but they have to crush the bodyshell to ensure it's never put back on the road again....
