Bangers and Cash Scheme Proving Popular

The government recently unveiled car scrappage scheme is proving popular particularly with older drivers. The scheme was introduced to try to kick start the sales of new cars whilst reducing the amount of old cars on the road. In order to tempt drivers to update they have offered £2000 discount on a new car to those who scrap a car that is over 10 years old.

So far the scheme is proving most popular with retired drivers with fixed incomes. They often feel that as they are not receiving much in the way of interest on their savings them might as well invest in a new car.

Smaller, cheaper to run models such as the Citroen C1 are the most asked about so far suggesting that most drivers are concerned about ongoing fuel costs.
