majik_thighs Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 It was simply a blatant government subsidy to the international (manufacturers) and national (dealers) car industry. How I wish I could be so !Removed! at my business that the government would bail me out with £1,000 per customer..........the other grand was purportedly to be given by the dealer......Right! It should only have applied to vehicles manufactured inside the UK. Short term fix but long term very very costly.....it did wonders for the economy, trouble is its the German, Japanese and especially the Korean, economy and hardly ours. People were encouraged to buy new cars they could little afford. The service industry jobs in cars, repair, spares and servicing were hit quite badly. If everyone with a car 10 yrs or over took advantage of the scheme it would have cost the taxpayer over £14 billion. The car I drive today will be 10 years old next year and is as good if not exceedingly better than anything built in Korea! Just my rant. :) I suppose it got all those !Removed! old Escorts and Capris of the road though. :P 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Look at all the rovers ! All the oldies chopping them in for kias and hyundis. Shame about the 60plus foz's and the sole integra type R amongst the other casualties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin959 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Guys, there is any kind of "scrapyard" where someone can buy a supra (for example), for a lower price? It would be nice to have something like a project car :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Plenty of breakers around, 95% of cars that end up there are either mechanically dead or structurally dead so the chaces of finding a srraight Shell and running engine are slim to nonein the same place, best bet would be eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin959 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 This makes me so sad... I wish I had a house with a nice garage to save at least one of these... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
