How can you buy new car under scrappage scheme if you have sold your scrap car to a scrapyard...?

Think he's presenting an 'either' scenario - £100 selling to a scrappy versus £500 with the fairytale scenario.

i got more for my car when i weighed it in at the scrap metal merchants then i would have got at the breakers yard. you might want to look into it.

another option is to sell off bits on ebay if your not in a rush and then weigh it in for the scrap metal value.

although its 9 years old
the car doesnt start and has a head gasket to be fixed before its on the road

easiest thing to do is scrap it becasue the value isnt that much, beside i cant see someoen payign alot of money wheras they need to pay the full price of a head gasket fix too

unfortunately due to space issues i cannot strip the car to bits, this woudl be perfect
its taxed until end of march so i need to get rid asap lol

does that helps


many thanks for your responses, sorry i was a bit vague

stick it on ebay, someone will buy it to repair it a sell it on or maybe use it. or a scrappy will buy it a strip it for parts.

In which case, forget the Scrappage idea, it isn't old enough.

Just get a genuine car breaker to collect it, he/she will give you a certificate of destruction...sorted.

So you buy a car from a dealer for let's say £5000 with the scrapage allowance (car costs £7000 new) - then sell back said car to dealership with another name on the logbook where they give you more cash for it than you gave them? Honestly?

yep, honestly

i suppose you could view the cars as being sold along similar lines to pre-reg vehicles, ie delivery mileage, taxed and ready to go, lower screenprice - the dealer gets his hands on cheap new cars, and there is a customer based papertrail for the sale, that means the dealer isnt constrained by the manuf limits on how many vehicles they can pre-reg

there are also bigger margins for the dealer on this type of used stock, as some vehicles are on such long lead times, people are prepared to pay a premium, to have the car today

So you buy a brand new car for say £10000.

Pre reg ones are say, £8500.

Dealer offeres £7500.

So in the space of collcting your brand new car and selling it the next day to the dealer, you're £2500 out of pocket... How does that make ANy sense...?!

Give me an example of the sort of figures you have in mind - lets say the new car being bought is £10,000, so you pay £8,000 and give your old car in under the scrapage scheme. How much do you predict the dealership will immediately buy the car back from you for given that you've paid them £8,000 for it?
