- The Used Car Market - The Good And The Bad
By: Tony Hill | - At this current moment in time the automotive market is in a bit of a strange place. The Scrappage Scheme seems to have turned things on their head as it is now possible to get a brand new car for a lower price than a used car.

By: Thomas Pretty | - Many car manufacturers have been offering all kinds of incentives to entice buyers to a market that had slowed down considerably not thanks to the credit crunch, but even with many very good offers and discounts available on brand new cars, the best value still remains in the used car market.

- Why The Scrappage Scheme Isn't The Answer To Everything
By: Tony Hill | - When the Scrappage Scheme was first announced everyone thought it was a fantastic idea. In many ways it was because many car dealers had been struggling so much during the world-wide recession.
