It's €2,500 (Euros) to scrap cars more than 9 years old. They then get a voucher that they can use to part-pay for a replacement car less than a year old. This was being discussed again at The Treasury during the last week of February and has been urged by Tony Woodley of the Unite union, but Mandleson seems to be resisting it, probably because he hasn't got any money. Obviously a £2,000 scrappage voucher would make a sensible deposit for a PCP and might get dealer finance and cars moving again. But the longer this is talked about rather than acted upon, the longer potential buyers like you will hold back.
