Who’s paying for the scrappage scheme?
I’m getting heartily sick of the constant TV and radio adverts from car companies offering discounts on new cars and saying “thanks to the Government’s scrappage scheme”.
Let’s just remember whose money is being used for this scheme. It’s yours and mine. Have to say again - the Government does not have money. They use ours.

And is it creating any “new” sales anyway ?
Car sales are down drastically.
Free money is of course popular ( or at least some one else’s money is ). But what does that prove ?
Of course this is great news but despite a perfect credit rating, my application for finance was still declined because I am self employed and I do not have 3 years full accounts.
I really wanted a new car but quite frankly I am gutted by this.
