Dealers will always make money out of you no matter what, for example Vauxhall where knocking Vectras out at £8000 less than the rrp, alright the new insignia was due out and at the time people wasnt buying cars, but if you worked it out after all the interest was paid and the final payment went through, you actually paid the rrp for the car.
Alright i have seen deals of a low percentaged, but you will not get £4000 knocked off that price, but if you px your car in the scrappage scheme you will get the £2000 off. Ive even seen deals where the manufacturer to match the 2k, but i bet they make it back on interest, thats how they work.

Not been on the scene for a while and only just seen this,
Firstly i'd just like to say what a complete and utter bell-end you are! The language is hardly needed - if you disagree why not do it in a better mannor instead of hurling abuse at the nearest chance you can.
You say they have it so good, do you even read the newspapers and see how much debt these companys are in right now? Ford for example were in the deep end with huge losses! Yes the scrappage scheme has helped them all out of trouble - as thats the idea of it! get rid of the old bangers, reduce costs for buyers, increase sales for the motor industry!
However as my initial post said you can get better deals by playing hard to get / hard-ball, if you can work out simple maths and add 2+2 then you wouldnt get your self in the situation to pay the full RRP.
Dealers work along stats, their HQ will give them a quota of cars they should aim to sell in a particular month, they NEED to shift them cars to keep good stats, along with good profit margins. With this in mind they will lower the costs if you push them.
The scrappage scheme CAN be good, but only if you do it right, as someone has already said there's plenty of horror stories of companies tieing you in to high rate finance deals where your paying back the 2k anyway plus a lot more.
One thing I picked out of your load of crap i'd call a thread post, is you were actually right in one point. Dealers WILL make money out of you, common sense would hopefully prevail here and you'd realise the idea is to make them make less money out of you!
If you want cheap, go to wrecks 'r' us garage on the corner, if you want a reliable, warrantied, quality car then you know your gonna have to pay the price!
Agree or not, I couldn't care, you seem too narrow minded to even warrant a second responce.
