Fraud Classic?
I would like to buy a Hyundai i10 1.2 Classic, which is advertised at £6,795 in red. I have spoken to my local dealer and this is the price if I part exchange my present car with them (or if I sell my car privately and just buy the car). My car would also qualify for scrappage but then the price of the car goes up to £7,095 less £2,100 scrappage deal that is now being offered making the price £4,995. If the base price of £6,795 were kept with scrappage of £2,000 then I would be paying £4,795. I feel that I am losing out on £200 somewhere along the line.

No you aren't. The manufacturer has an offer on the car. The scrappage offer is a different offer. The manufacturer and dealer simply cannot afford to let you have the car for £4,795. And you will now be lucky to get an i10 1.2 Classic for £4,995 anyway as they are in very sorts supply. There are a lot more i10 1.1ES at £4,195 and 1.2 Comfort models at £5,495.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
