That **** along with C4C is the worst idea ever.i can understand giving rebates, but WHY scrap the cars? my local junkyard is littered with hundreds of cars waiting to be crushed. including damn near 25-30 XJ's, and pretty much all of them were in pretty decent shape.

UK Cash4Clunkers?

Stupid crap like this pisses me off. You can thank our governments for making decent used cars more expensive and harder to find.

I'm sick of the government using MY tax dollars on bull**** like this!

There's a red one at the top right of the second picture. About an inch from the right and 2 inches from the top.

This is another great example of how governments operate. The UK will be dumping millions of pounds into the pockets of UK scrappers, helping that business and as a result of the rebates, helping new car sales and aiding those companies. Who loses? The people. Now they have less of a used car market to choose from (and the used car market is an opportunity for folks with lower incomes to save money) and with less of a market, the laws of supply and demand kick in and prices go up! Who wins? They do, those are businesses they tax, so keeping them rolling in the dough and profitable keeps them taxable! Same deal for the C4C program. A program created in theory to get inefficient vehicles off the road, but you are limited to the option of buying a NEW car. Once again, you are restricted to buying a HIGHLY TAXABLE product. If fuel consumption was the main concern, tell me I can give you my XJ to crush and you'll give me 3000 bucks to buy any car I want that gets over 25 mpg new or used. That accomplishes the goal of getting inefficient vehicles off the road, and fuel efficient ones in more peoples driveways but there's one problem. The government doesn't stand to benefit much at all from used vehicle sales, your local sales tax will be applied but where do they win? They wouldn't. So you have to buy new in order to line the pockets of whomever they gear their "incentive program" to benefit. Politics or so slimey. We need Fairtax to become law, it's about time we took a little of the power back!
