  Buyers Turn a Profit on Scrappage 23 Jun 2009 (News)
  Glass’s, publisher of motor dealer ‘bible’ Glass’s Guide, says that for in-demand superminis such as the new Ford Fiesta, FIAT 500 and Citroen C1, a profit of up to £1,100 could be available if the consumer had received the full scrappage trade-in discount and then sold their new car privately after taking delivery. “The potential profit is greatest for those cars where the nearly-new value is currently high in relation to the list prices; notably small, affordable cars with low running costs,” explains Adrian Rushmore, Managing Editor at Glass’s.
