    Can't see a dealership poncing about with eBay. Far too much hassle.

    No way will they ebay it (perhaps as spares or repair). Far too much down side for a dealer.

    Indeed.

    They'll either trade it on, auction it or scrap it

    The list price of new cars were inflated when the scrappage scheme was on, soon came down again when the scheme ended.

    So, if a garage was offering £2k scrappage it would be at the lower retail price then.
