it would work fine, her sister is free to sell the car immediately. It does need to be MOT'd though.
Richard, wrong end of stick! They would buy the IQ off the sister in law, not the scrap one. 
just found out i need tax? why
and need mot
Aye, soon as I pressed Reply I realised!!
Maybe worth a look http://www.which.co.uk/advice/car-scrappage-scheme-explained/how-the-car-scrappage-scheme-works/index.jsp

because then you could use any old 20 quid scrap shell and get 2k off a new car.
ive got a bit of a banger on my drive im tempted to MOT and chop in. Sods law as soon as id finished welding it though the scrappage fund would run dry!
Think it was Monday that Mr Brown announced it would be repeated, so you should be ok.
Cheers

I took advantage of the scrappage scheme to get a new car for the other half , not a bad deal when I only paid £350 for my XM 13 years ago and got 2 grand off a new car. The car you are trading in has tohave an MOT and tax even if it only has a day to run . Think the reason for it is to stop the scrouts running a car with no tax etc from taking advantage
Just turn up at the dealers and do a deal! Miss Os uncle had agreed to buy a Toyota Avensis. Then when the scrappage was announced he told the dealer he'd wait a few days to cash in the old car. The dealer pointed out that the forecourt prices of the cars were increasing and the cars they were pushing for the 'scrappage deals' were base spec and they were pushing finance. He ended-up with a 0% finance, a good spec car, servicing for ages (I forget how long!) and £2150 off the screen price. And he sold his old car privately for £700.
What you have to remeber is that 80% of the new cars bought under the scrappage scheme are foreign, so in Gordon Brown's usual backward thinking,
we are for the most part subsidising the foreign car makers, with our taxes. Wonder if the French or germans are doing same for our benefit.

The reason its got to be Taxed and MOTed is because its meant to be your main car your trading in and they've no legal way to specify that.
Even if the cars were built abroad, people in the UK are benefiting, dealers, importers. To be fair there are no propper british volume manufacturers,
LTI is the closest thing.
What an absolute farce this scrapage scheme is. The only ones it benefits is those running round with absolute sheds on the road, then they just buy a bloody Kia Sh!tbox and this is supposed to help our economy, yeah right help the Korean economy more like. And then I work my arse off to buy a £34K car and what do I get sweet nothing cause my last car wasn't a banger. Rant over.
Its complete nonsense some of the cars I have seen scrapped are/were future classics.
Its increasing the value of secondhand old cars, its taking away servicing/repair /MOT's from the small garage and mechanics.
And the parts from the scrapped vehicles cannot even be recycled.
On the plus side there is some cheap fuel to be had
depending on the car you should be able to blag £2k off the retail price? obviously if its a £5k new car the discount will be less, but you will still
have your car to sell.

another top Brown idea ... not... another mixed message to the people ... how many of those cars bought are on finance surely people shouldn't be
encouraged to get further into dept .... what happens when the local government job cuts start to kick in

Anyone running a shed is not going to get into hock for the
difference in price just because they can get £2k off, they still have the £5000 difference to pay. My friend just traded his daughter's old Saxo
in on a new C1 under the scheme for her to go to uni in, her MOT was running out before the deal could be closed so he told the garage they would go
elsewhere and they gave her a Ka as a loan car for nearly a month free gratis. The credit is helping keep the banks afloat it's nothing to do
with the car industry in Britain, we haven't got one.
The scrappage scheme is designed to kick start the economy. With all the bad financial news, people were making their current cars last longer,
putting dealers and manufacturers out of business.
It will safeguard jobs at dealers who have started selling cars again. It will safeguard jobs at Honda, Nissan and Toyota factories in the UK as well
as others abroad (Germans and French people also buy these brands and they come from the UK factories) and it gets money flowing, which is the whole
cause of the current problems.
It isn't a perfect scheme, what is? Plus you can't really blame Brown, it was a German idea that we copied.
the economy is fake
HTH
I don't think we need to worry about local Gov. job cuts, simply won't happen (or at least won't happen until after re-election). So,
simply borrow and spend, and repeat.
Problem is, there's no recruiting going on in the Gov. sector (at least in the SW). I had a productive non-Gov. job, contributing to GDP, now
redundant and (it seems) on the scrap heap (£2000 anyone?) at 45. Desperate.
Point of this reply, is to say that my 16 yr old Mundaneo remains..... scrappage isn't an option. Wife needs it to go to work (while her
job/employ holds out).
Yeah but if I wanted to buy a new car I'd want a family can not a KA or a Fiat Panda.
But Hell I can't afford a New Vetctra or Passat even under the scrapage scheme.
So I suppose 2.2 Family with the 12 year old car and both on Social CAN. (we'll on the never never or HP).
ok how do you spell resignation.???
The aim of the sceme was to get people who could afford to buy a new car (Finance or otherwise) to realise this and do it. Its target group is young
people and old people who often have old cars and money/disposable income. The same group also buy small cars which as a percentage have the biggest
discounts.
Also, giving people loans is good for the economy if they have the means to pay them back, the worst thing that can happen is for everyone to keep
hold of there money because it devalues the currency.
on a final note, If you can afford to spend 34K on a new car then you don't need a 2k discount, there is no economic sense in giving people with
money more money/tax breaks because they won't spend it, thats the first thing you'll learn in any economics class.

I resemble this remark, we are not all working and able to get a £34k car and calling my old Kia (which I love and cherish) a sh!tbox just because you can't get a reduction on your new BMW is not really constructive criticism.
no need to be a prick andy...
its a valid point, if you have 34k spare you dont need government handouts, you're doing ok by yourself. There are people working hard in real
shitty jobs for £15k. You seem to have the bizarre notion that ones wage reflects how hard they are working?
On a side note, there are plenty of uk built cars that people could buy. Plus the £1k (not two) from the government is immediately returned in vat, so
its not even a handout.
I appreciate some people work hard for little gaff but the fact is I give more to the "system" (in tax payments) than they do and yet I get
less back. How is that fair?
Where's the motivation for people to do better in life than stay on benefits?
And I'm not being a prick, the previous poster has judged me as someone who does not deserve handouts because of the amount I earn. What gives him the right?

You miss understand. Its not about deserving money, its about running an economy. Noone deserves £2k of a car, but giving people who wouldn't
otherwise buy a new car incentive to do so will do much more for the economy than giving someone who can afford to buy a 34K car a much smaller
proportional discount.
Another couple of things you seem to have missed, firstly people on benefits won't be buying new cars, even at two grand off you couldn't
afford it on benefits.
Also, how do you know how much tax everyone else is paying? Someone earning less than you could easilly be paying more tax than you which would be a
bigger proportion of their income. I don't take to kindly to being sworn at and I'm sure theres rules against it. You basically complained
that you didn't get a discount for replacing a good car with another good car.
