Hi Katie,

Scrappage is a bit tricky in this instance – all of the current ‘scrappage’ schemes being offered by car makers and dealers aren’t actually scrappage at all, but are just trade-in boosters. Most, if not all, of them usually require the car being traded in to be taxed and insured and drive onto the forecourt under its own power. If you could patch it up and get it running long enough to do that, you could get as much as €4,500 off the price of a new car, depending on which model and which brand you went for.
