Had this sent through the post yesterday. Apparently my friendly local dealer has reintroduced "Scrappage".

Offering £2k for your car if 10 years or older. And their example? :x

You would have a better chance turning a LHD IX 2 door into two bags than you would with just about any E36/46/39 ! :)

That'll be £2000 of the list price, you would probably get more off without a part exchange!


And of course it says "up to".

When my time comes, I want to go to the crem in a Coleman Milne hearse complete with the whiff and faint rattle of a shagged 2.8 Cologne or, even better, a 2.1 diesel donk.

Oh, and Trev's bought an X5. An E53 3.0d with tints and a non functioning OSR door handle.
