The way i read that article, Arnold Clark seem to put their good fortune down to the constant rise in used car values, and not really from scrappage despite the large volumes involved.
The seem to be saying that lower production of new has caused shortages of cars and therefore higher prices.
Look at Ratties new Panda, i'm sure he said he would only have saved about £500 if he'd had a scrappage deal...i wonder how many people talked themselves into finance deals they can't afford because the £2K carrot was dangled.
