Half the grant is 10 large. You could buy 16.27 11 year old clapped out ex-taxi priuseyes for that kinda loot.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

Hey Watty did you get any extra for the Skoda you scrapped off the breakers?

I put my details into an online scrapper and they offered me only €350.Just used it again using a different county and it offered me €192.Dunno how they calculate it.

Think it was somewhere between €250-300 & they collected it for free.  Other places wanted me to deliver it or they would charge for collection.  Considering it was dead, I only had one choice really.
Getting old is compulsory whilst growing up is voluntary.

Ah ok thanks if I cant get a decent price I'll cut out the Catalytic converter amd pull the battery and flog them separately.

It does seem like an awful waste though.Not all ex taxis are fit for the crusher.

.the missus thought she was getting a free,well maintained, top o the range,high mileage Prius.....well,she might well yet!!

I think you can keep your old heap under the new rules but you only get half a grant (or something like that).  Could be a handy Valentine's gift for your missus.  Give her the spare wheel from the Prius and tell her she can have the rest of the car in a few months when you're finished with it  :P

She actually wants a Toyota CHR....and her tits reduced...wimmin, they want it all,I hope she gets the CHR though!!

Is that electric as well?

Yee'll have hours of fun smugly looking at your ESB meter spinning like an old 78 vinyl record whilst munching on your window box salads... with Barry Manilow waiting for the MP3 player to charge.

Sitting on the fence seems mad these days. The day of the hybrid is gone.

If there's a poll I'll vote Vegas. Amsterdam is more for the youths!
