Volvo are giving, for example, £4805 off a C30 1.6D DRIVe R-design with a scrappage deal. As £1000 of this comes from the Government, should it not be possible to be offered £3805 off without scrappage? The scrappage car is supposed to be scrapped - it is not a trade-in car that can be sold on thus recouping some of the discount. Or am I being naive and missing the point somewhere?
