Car scrappage scheme having an effect

First it is interesting how many manufacturers and retailers added bonny amounts to the miserly and rather pathetic Golden Gordon's grote. God that ma really does think we are idiots, if more had been done to encourage car sales through less taxation we may not have been in quite such a bad position. Mind you, the real culprit was an artificially large par park based on lending people money they could not afford to pay back if they go a large vets bill.
These sort of discounts were always there to be negotiated, but as we headed into hard times a clever dealer would have been shouting from the rooftops that he would give you more for less. There would still have been profit.
Anyway, back to the question. Every morning driving to work I pass a scappy very morning there is a line of sledges with a wrecker on the back. Only these are wreckers tat once you would have been happy to have as a runabout, many of them with reasonably modern and healthy technology.
So I would say, with 60,000 quid paid out so far, about the same as an MP's soft furnishing account, is having an impact.
Yet when al this current unpleasantness is over we will return to the same old lend and spend car market, discounts will have to be mud wrestled for and rear sea belts and head restraints listed as generously fitted standard features when the law demands them.
Here is a idea. To keep margins reasonable and cars affordable start trading out of less palatial sites. Drive around Face or Spain and you won' see car dealerships that favour the towers of Babylon.
The time is rite for a new champion of the motorists. A sort of Robin Hood of car sales. Someone who thinks Armarni plays of Milan.
