We will be in touch
My 19 year old has an old Micra and wants to get a car on the scrappage sceme what is the best deal she can look at .
like what car to get cheap /reliable/good mpg /cheaper insurance
We scrapped our old micra for a fiat 500 for the wife - its a great car really funky, a few toys and no problems yet at 1yr old.
I highly recommend one.
Peugeot 107/Citroen C1/Toyota Aygo
My ex GF recently got a good deal on a 107, chopped her old car in againt it too to get the extra £2k discount on the scrappage scheme. Ended up with a brand new car on her drive for £5500, when 3 year old ones with 40,000 miles are selling for £4500 privately!
Good little cars too...
Though Fiat 500 is also nice.
Just take her down the showroom and see how much they'll give you for her.

micra cost £300 3 years ago so not worth much now .
Depends whether you will be paying up front or on finance, but you can get more than just the scrappage allowance knocked off. Once you have a few options its worth scouting around the dealers, let them know you are definitely buying a new car from someone, but you have a few options.
We scrapped my old Punto which was practically a mechanical write off and got around £5k off the window price + few optional extras from the local Vauxhall dealer.
she is looking online and likes the Mazda 2 good bad or rubbish ???
Good...not quite as 'roomy' as the Fiesta but very similar and very good reports on it.
Fiat Panda 1.1 is going for £4,500 on the scrappage deal...good cars as well...
Same chassis as the new Ford Ka, which in turn isn't a bad car

I scrapped my 11 year old Mazda 121 & got a Mazda 2 Tamura, fantastic car 45+ miles to the gal, very easy to drive, cheap to insure (but I'm an oldfart) & with the back seats down I can get my bike in the back 😆
Between me & Mrs CB over the last 14 years we have had 5 Mazda's, apart from one puncture & that was a demo car lent to us while ours was being serviced we have had trouble free motoring & we aren't going to change brands anytime soon.
Trout you probably get £ 2,000
Think the Fiat 500 be a better bet
But I think it has the same base as the
Fiat Panda
