Quote by shambles mate Tony:

Hyundai also reported that UK sales had almost doubled in June from the same month a year ago - which it said was largely due to the scrappage scheme.

UK managing director Tony Whitehorn said that "scrappage customers" were generally buying small cars, that were often their first new vehicle.

"They're looking for a good return on their money, and things like a five-year warranty are important to them as well as having modern vehicles," he said.

"The scrappage customer doesn't tend to have as much brand loyalty or any snobbery. They're coming to it fresh and are doing plenty of research before they decide what to buy."
