i am at present 24 years old and have been driving old bangers for almost 8 years, my cars always make me problems, they are either shaky when i drive or just entirely break down on me when i am trying to go someone. 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 literally been left with old cars for one simple 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 really own any credit cards as I am so afraid of getting myself into debt.

But things looked a lot better when authorities announced that they would be introducing a new scrappage scheme, where I could get 2000 off of a new car if I handed my old one in. As soon as the scheme came into action I visited my local garage and because I had been saving my money for a few months, I was able to hand my old car in and get a new decent one.

I chose to get a ford focus; I signed all the necessary paper work and handed my keys over. The garage owner then said you are free to drive away. My drive back home was absolutely amazing; it honestly felt like the car was hovering over the road 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.

Folk all over the country have been excited about the scrappage system as something that has rescued the struggling industry. We have seen that purchases of new vehicles are up a huge amount and this is due down to the fact that folk know when they are being given a great offer. For a huge majority of people they have actually been unable to afford a brand new vehicle, because it simply cost too much, so instead they used their old cars as long as they could. But the scrappage scheme has deducted £2000 off of new cars if you trade in your decade old vehicle.

But as a lot of people may not know, the incentive system is only a temporary one and will be over in 2010. There are two possible reasons that this could happen; firstly it may be due to the fact that people are buying the cars now because they are in fact so cheap, so why would they want to buy another vehicle in only a year or so time.

The next reason we have to think about is that will the economy actually recover by 2010,was it the right call to stop the scrappage scheme in 2010 or should we decide to extend it? I mean I personally believe that the economy will take many years to recover and possibly the car sector will take even longer because it was one of the worst hit sectors.

So car manufacturers need to actually look at better ways to keep the public interested in buying new cars, otherwise the market could fail once again.
