So what, they refused to give you the allowance or they advised that you would make more from selling on ebay?

is the scheme actually working yet?

The scheme is expected to be introduced in mid-May, which maybe why some dealerships are unaware of the rules. There is a website that you can use to find all the info

Wont they just give me 2 grand for me old car? I've already got a new one and I no longer need the old one. If anyone without an old'un wants to give me a grand for it then they can trade it in for 2 grand off a new 'un ???? Simples.

I think there are going to be clauses to prevent what you suggest, proof of 6 months ownership etc

As far as I know, you don't "actually" get the cash in your hand. As far as I were aware, you get the discount on the price then the dealership claims the money back from the government. Also it's only certain dealerships

you have to have owned the old car for 12 months before you can trade it in and get the 2k off a brand new car

Don't we pay something called car tax on new purchases, and what about VAT? Perhaps someone could work out what the figure would be on a £10k car?
