Manufacturer 'scrappage deals' are actually nothing more than standard discounts and you can probably get a better discount anyway by buying via a good broker such as www.drivethedeal.com/ The only way a scrappage deal offers a genuine benefit over and above a discount is if it is supported with funding from the government.
