In France that thing started in the 90s "killed" lots of cars of the 70s, even sometimes cars of the 60s.
Many old people had an old car, sometimes in very good state.

Well in the nineties they still didn't have he value they have now so it wasn't something that odd.. plus i doubt that so many of them were really destroyed
@ccf: in your point of view there is a big misunderstanding.
yes, it is thought as a help for the car-industry. but think logical: people, who have an old, worthless car -less value than the 2500 euro, the govrnment will pay- is usually not the typical customer-ship to buy a brand new car. no money or no interest, or both. when you dont have money for a new car, the 2500 euro dont help you, because you need more. and if these people would be really buying a new car, they will not choose a mercedes, bmw or an audi, rahter something small, economic - but cheap, small cars arent made in germany, they are mainly from korea or romania. so this will not help the german car-industry.

No, trust me there's no missunderstanding at all from my part, we have this here too and i know how it works...
i don't really understand what you mean on the following paragraph but anyway this "help" is just that, a "help" not the full quantity of money to buy the car, so people that doesn't have much money appreciate this help, it's too easy to say i won't ever accept that when you have a relatively new car that does not give you big problems... and then what do you mean about Audi, BMW etc? isn't the help for every brand or what? the thing is that this has existed several times in Spain, the last time the first Plan Prever "ended" was in arround 2003 when we bought our 406 and trust me the cars in the back part of the dealership weren't worth anything, so nothing valuable was there, as i said, if nowadays there's really people with old classic cars they won't give them to the dealership since they can get more money by selling them to any other particular person, so i don't see any danger in that part...indeed, i just read an article about the first results of this 2500 euro-auction. the big winner is - dacia. with these 2500 euro they can make the big advertises: "a brand new car for just 5000 euro". the selling of kia and the korean chevrolets goes up, too in germany. opel-dealers are selling a lot of corsa and the smallest astra-versions - but signum, insigna and vectra are still standing around. but these bigger cars are the cars, the companies are making money.
Logical... this is likely to happen with the cheaper brands not the expensive luxury ones, and car companies make money with any sale as long as they sale cars, sometimes the top of the range trim of a small compact car is more expensive than the cheapest version of a bigger car... so that doesn't really mean anything.
