Cash For Clunkers- I was unaware

[suicideneil]

Its insane, it really is- do the people running our countries have any idea of how stupid some of their schemes are? In the UK, people get upto £4000 off the cost of a new car if they trade in their old one. Trouble is if you buy the car on finance then you end up paying more than the normal full price because the car companies dont want to loose money on the trade in deal. That, and the price of used cars is going up as people are scrapping perfectly good cars in order to buy slightly more eco friendly new ones & get the £4k scrapage allowance, meaning fewer used cars for 1st time buyers and less well off people to buy.

Its enough to make your blood boil, it really is...
