Singapore are offering incentives to older vehicle owners to de-register (scrap) them.
I have a mate in Singapore with some really nice cars. He is going to bring them over here and sell them. How long before older cars are not economically viable? And their value drops dramatically?

I had a prospective mayor on my doorstep a couple of weeks ago. A scrappage scheme was his suggestion to my unhappiness about the ULEZ. The trouble is, that's aimed at people who aspire to a new car. I don't. I like to drive something different, be able to fix it myself and have minimum depreciation.
The scrappage scheme would probably be something like £3k trade-in for your old car. You'd probably need something like 25K+ for a new 75 equivalent. You'd lose more value than the 3k grant as soon as you drove it out of the showroom!

I was in Birmingham the other day with work and noticed as I was driving toward the centre there were signs about clean air zones and paying a fee. I checked when I got home and from what I could tell it doesn't start till June but it seems to be cropping up all over the place. The assault on diesel is worrying me - I always wanted the 2.5 V6 on LPG but would it make any difference in the long term??

Unless you live or travel into in one of these clean air zones on a daily basis buying a vehicle that complies will not save you much if any money.
Personally we visit a city about once a month and even if all cities start having clean air zones it will still be cheaper to drive our ''old polluting vehicle''. With the depreciation and higher running costs of new cars it just not add up financially. |

I heard yesterday that the Bristol ULEZ has been delayed around a year. No reference link etc. just what I heard.

Our son goes to school in the zone. He has hospital appointments in the zone. It would have cost us £100 per week.
