Is this a good time to trade in?
I have a Renault Clio which was first registered December 2005. I bought it at a year old. I would usually change a car at this point a buy another car about 10 months to a year old. I am concerned that the scrappage scheme may mean I get a poor deal. Any thoughts?

Brake Warning Light-MOT Failure?

Car tax query
