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.

The UK government’s scrappage scheme is a load of cobblers.

Various car companies have put up their prices by £2k already, so will make about £1k through the scheme.

The old cars being scrapped off often do less than 2,000miles a year – hardly heavy usage or large contribution to the “CO2 Footprint”.

The main ironic thing is that the companies that have adopted the scheme are ones which don’t manufacture in the UK!
