How the Scrappage Scheme Made Me Drive a Great Car
I am now 24 years old and have literally been driving old cars for almost a decade, they are forever causing me problems, either breaking down in the road or simply shaking. To be fair i have in all likelihood become one of the most embarrassing customers of the aa, i am always calling them out to toe my vehicle.
I have been left with old bangers purely because of one reason. I simply cannot afford to buy a new one, I know all my friends get their cars on finance, but that is just something I do not want to do. I do not even own any credits cards simply because of the fact that I am just too scared to get myself into debt.
But things seemed to be looking a lot better when the government and vehicle manufacturers introduced a brand new scrappage scheme, where they would give you 2k off of a new car if you handed in your old one. as soon as the system went live i visited my local service department to see what they could offer me, i had been saving up my money and funds for a long time and because of the scheme i finally had enough to get myself a adequate vehicle.
I chose to get a ford focus; I signed all the necessary paper work and handed my keys over. The owner then indicated that I was free to drive away. My drive back home was absolutely amazing; it honestly felt like the automobile was hovering over the route as i couldnt feel any bumps or anything.
The scrappage scheme has literally changed my life and I recommend it to anyone that is looking to purchase new cars.
