Because who is going to pay full price for a Panda when there are other cars which are cheaper after discount?why do they offer all those £££ of a panda then?

I personally wouldn't and I'm not going to. But if I didn't have an old banger and I really wanted a 500 then I guess I'd have little choice.so why would you pay full price for the 500 given the scheme, and the resulting impact on competitors?

Hey Yall
Well I was so excited was due to pick up my new car on sat until Mr Darling made his car scrapping scheme announcement in the budget.
Dealer called me this morning saying if I wait till mid May then I can get £2000 for my old motor rather than £500. It made sense at the time I said "ok!".
Now I wish I hadn’t, I've already waited 12 weeks!! ARGHHHHHHH!! :bang:
Yeah I did read that. Sounds promising do just hope it's not just a dealer jumping the gun. Looking forward to ordering a car soon.Hopefully it's a 500.....I'm sure I read in one of the threads that a 500 owner had been contacted by his dealer regarding collection of his car. If he wanted it now it would be the agreed price but if he was willing to wait then he would be offered the scrappage discount.
Sorry I haven't got the link to the post but I will find it later if no-one else does so in the meantime.
Found it!

Why dont you just ring your dealer, or customer service?
That's pretty weak. I spoke to someone today who said details would be available shortly. I understand they don't know right now but the middle of may is just rubbish. Might get onto my dealer but don't want to take up too much of his time as he's a nice guy and he's usually busy/Just contacted Fiat directly, via their online chat service, and this is how it is:
The only Fiat currently supported by the scheme is the Panda, as advertised on their website.
They haven't yet received full details about the scheme from Fiat HQ yet, and will do so on the 18th May.
The information will be available on their website, presumuably at: www.fiat.co.uk/scrappage
So we just have to wait and see...
The scheme only starts mid may I think.If Fiat wait too long all the money allocated will have been used by the other manufacturers maybe Fiats loss this year isnt large enough to worry them !
Well Smart are technically a different manufacturer aren't they?Many manufacturers have started this scheme already, and across the whole range too.
However, Ive just heard smart are not including all their models but Mercedes are, so it would seem that they CAN choose to leave models out.
and its smart with a little s not a big one.
Well sorreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeNot any more they arent, both smart and Mercedes are wholey owned by Daimler AG.
smart used to be a seperate entity but was losing so much money that Daimler took total control and put all of it under the Mercedes banner. Hence why smarts are now sold in Merc dealers... and its smart with a little s not a big one.
Notts will be so proud of you.
