Thanks -- nice of you to put this on -- good ref point
You might find its cheaper to buy these new than second hand --
NP, got a few deals of here so thought its only fair I contribute. Went through so many sites before I figured out these pretty much listed all the best prices in one place.
In many of the cases you are right about second hand prices. The Golfs are a good example. Ultimately the second hand dealers/private sellers are relying on non scrappage customers and the scheme to end. I tried and none of them would bother even trying to compete.
Also most of them said although the scheme runs for some time, most expect the funding to finish mid/end October. Since alot of people are buying the smaller cars, where the £2k makes a big % difference. Although I would normally take what dealers say with a pinch of salt, in this case I'm inclined to believe them to an extent.
