ah but then i will have to pay for it all in one hit - i would much rather they take the money each month and not have to worry about it - otherwise i'll spend it!  :laugh:

what exactly do you think your getting for £20 per month?

i don't know without digging out the paperwork - but its only 13 notes a month more than the 250 package and if it means i don't have to pay a bean for the next 3 years then i don't care paying over the odds slightly!  :smiley:

Could be totally wrong but doesnt the scrappage deal end soon and to qualify the car has to be completed within a certain time?

You better get your skates on.

Thought I heard that the money allocated by the Government was going to run out in the next few weeks?

if you read the link that I posted then it does explain it will run until the money runs out but otherwise it would run until March 2010

Back at the beginning of July, there were predictions it was going to run out in October.  This may or may not turn out to be the case.

What we don't know is how much warning will be given.  There may be a day or two warning so that anyone who has almost completed their order will be able to get it finalised before the cut-off, but we don't know that.

Been keeping a close eye on the scrappage scheme, think I might make it. Problem is for my car to qualify it has to have been in my name for a year which it hasnt, I got it and put it off the road for a respray etc, keeping it in the previous owners name(doh!). I may aswell chance my arm and wait for the year to be in(15th Dec). :sad:

So far sales are approx 110,000 cars.  Sept was expected to be high for obvious reasons but doesnt seem to have made an impact from what I can read.  There are calls for the scheme to continue untill the econmic "crises" settles. Whether this is going to happen is a mystery.
