Compulsory Scrapping
With Diesel cars in the limelight at the moment, is it worth investing in our cars, Could the government bring in a compulsory scrappage scheme for Diesel cars over a certain age, and that could mean ours for sure? Concerned Rev |

I also read on the internet a similar item, where the government have some think tank looking into proposals for something like the scheme they had a few years ago with cars of a certain age. but in the same article it also read that it would not come to much? its all to do with emissions from Diesels. |

German influence

So whether in or out of EU, I'm sure German government would persuade our government to exempt 75 diesels. |

I've read a couple of articles on this from different sources and it certainly wouldn't be compulsory scrapping. The idea would be to offer a discount way above the car's actual value if the owner traded it in for a new 'cleaner' car. Although there are no specifics mentioned, my guess would be that the new car would have to meet any emissions criteria specified by the government.

It would have to be a massive discount, as the trade in book value of our cars is so very little. Even with a massive discount you would still be looking at paying out over £20,000 for something of equal size and quality of ride. |

Yeah, scrap those nasty smelly diesels and buy an environmental friendly modern SUV with 4l petrol engine. Those are the ideal city cars
