To get teh scrappage scheme you need to buy a brand new car
which will cost a lot more than 6K even with the "discount" by trading in my heap of junk. I'll hopefully get a couple of hundred from a scrap dealer for my current car.

According to a friend of mine
Ford count preregistered and ex-demo cars as new for the purposes of the scrappage scheme.

Mind you, you've probably missed the boat there anyway. I think it's all but finished now.

Some do
but this car is three years old. I've looked at it, and I just don't have enough to spend to get a car that qualifies.

There're a couple of dealers around here
who apply the scrappage scheme to second hand cars, it's very recent.
