    Sorry I was trying to assist you, your first post was in large bold text and you appear to struggle with numbers.:p

    107 would be the right one under scrappage. Decent enough motors, but so many check what is best for you- just a clone of the C1 Citreon and the Aygo from Toyota.

    i don't think they still make the 106 so i doubt scrappage would even be an option.

    The 107/C1/Aygo is a quite a nice little car to drive, it's a good runner, has surprisingly good low speed torque from the little engine, and is quite reasonable for all round visibility for a modern car, the very rare Diesel version whilst not suitable for everyone is especially tractable at low revs.
    Pity they don't still make the 106, that really was a nice little motor with superb visibility and a lovely old school Diesel.

    Does the driver want an auto?
    If so i'd suggest looking elsewhere for proper auto's instead of the automated manual as fitted to this car, like other similar gearboxes it's not pleasant to use IMO.

    For proper auto's try Kia, Hyundai, Chevrolet, Suzuki in no particular order.

    Hope you find the right car, good luck.
