Time to say goodbye to the C6.

Interesting I cannot find anything on UK Government scrappage, other than this page which talks about £2,000.

I was over chatting to him about it again and he didn’t elaborate anymore on the 8K, but did say that the deal he struck with the main dealer including his car, was 1K cheaper with cash at an independent dealer, and he keeps his old car?!?!
He thinks the scrappage is a scam...

[swalker]

he said it was from the yougov website and that VW offered him 7K scrapage against a passat, going down to 3K against a polo...

The scrappage does not make sense on some cars, for example If you were buying an A7 Audi deposit contribution is £10,000, however if you trade in a car on the scrappage you would lose that £10,000 and only get £8,000 scrappage for you car!!!!!! not sure someone who was looking at the numbers was fully awake that day.

This is my example! My a6 is worth about £1200 due to mileage, condition and age, now I have already sold parts of the car and swapped parts, and that has got me over £3,000 so far, the scrappage is getting me £4,000 but I lose £850 Audi deposit contribution on the A3, so I'm almost £6000 better off, than if I had traded in the car or sold privately.

I was planning on breaking the car but not sure how long or how much I would have got for that + all of the effort required.

For most people the scrappage scheme does not make any financial sense, but for me it does at this point in time it does, and is most defiantly not a scam for me.

Bloody hell, sad to read this thread mate, but I understand your reasons.

Your retrofits and spot on guides to stuff will no doubt be helping us C6 owners for years to come mate, so form me, a massive thanks to you for all your efforts.

It'd be better if photobucket didn't go from free to greedy over night...

So what's left of the car after the vultures have circled, not sure what I need, but always interested in what's about....

You and your diy jobs were very useful with this car, I was convinced that the car will last forever how did you treat it. I feel really sorry reading all above...
