Yep. Although the question in my mind is how many people who are driving olds clunkers can afford new cars?...Originally Posted by JoeVR
Having said that, nothing to stop you picking up a sub $500 POS just to trade it in

I will continue to drive my mk1 around because me driving it uses less energy and waste than buying a new car and having it made and run.....
F#$% your cash I'll keep my clunker!

The whole scheme is rubish, save the environment my ass.
Driving an old car is alot more environmentally friendly then driving a new car. Sure some old cars will use more petrol and have more emissions but think about what it takes to build a new car. You can drive a VN 5L for 10years and in that time it still wont be as harmfull to the environment as building a prius is.

This is from memory of about 20 years ago when working in Malaysia.
Singapore required a bond on all new car purchases.
This bond is returned when car destroyed (Or dismantled?) before set time period.
I think not allowed to be resold over border? eg, required certificate to say destroyed.
This was one way to keep Singapore looking clean and tidy.

Don't even want any trade money from the dealer, just the money from Jules ....

The green guidelines should be applied in this order
1. Reduce - the number of vehicles in use
2. Re -use - what is already available
3. Re-cycle - as the last resort
