Government Wants Your Skylines To Be Wrecked

[rs73]

If anyone watched last night's news... basically any cars over 10 years old are declared belong to the junkyard.

This includes all:

Any Pre R32 Skylines (DR30, R31, etc)

R32 Skyline Gts-t, GTS, GTS4, GTR

R33 Skyline Gts-t, GTS, GTS4, GTR

R34 Skyline GTT & GTR 1999 models

The catch is if you wreck your piece of junk Skyline you get $3000 incentive to update it with a newer car...

The aim is to reduce the number of gas guzzling old cars on our road.

I think it's a good idea......

PS: I'm just stirring up some shit...

Wish I'd held off selling my VN now lol.

And we should change our Acronym from SAU to JAU (Junkyard AUstralia) - considering most Skylines on this forum is over 10 yrs old

good idea i own a 1971 ford gtho phase 111 id love to crush it and get $3000 towards a new car.

wow the government are so awsome and smart lol. ( my whole statement is sarcastic).

honestly its the stupidest thing i have ever heard, you cant get rid of all the classic cars out there.

also $3000 isnt going to help much for a new car either, unless i have a real bomb that doesn't run then i could get the money and buy another bomb that does drive.

edit: my car is still safe for one more year lol.

the car only gets crushed if the owner wants it too.. classic and desirable cars are still safe, as long as they arent owned by retards.

I think its a pretty good idea. except every flamin mongrel selling a shit box will want 3k for it now

[bozodos]

lol does this mean that since my girlfriend has 2 shitboxes and a Beetle (in a class of its own), in her yard, she can get $9k?

[rs73]

So potentially anyone can go into a used car yard, get 10 shitboxes worth $700 each, even if he had to register them for $500 a car, at $1200 he will make $1800 each x 10 shitboxes = $18,000 when he surrendered them to government to be squashed...

what an awesome idea...

first the $900 K-Rudd package (anyone got them yet?)

now the $3k stimulus to help save the auto industry sell their overstocked new cars...

What next???

a $50,000 tax-free job-stimulus for anyone willing to be a good Samaritan and give up / quit their job so the company can hire one of hundreds of jobless out there who are still jobless?

I wish I was paid to think of amazing ideas like this! I would be rolling in it!

I would like to know why the term "gas guzzling old cars" was used. I mean by all means remove old, unroadworthy cars off the street, but I'll eat all my items of clothing when a 10 year old Corolla "guzzles more gas" than something along the lines of a brand new Commodore SS.

The first post may have 'bend' some reality - as my intent was to stir up some shit anyhow

[typevu]

I hope it gets through! I'll gladly accept $3k for the death trap I bought for $250.

[typevu]

If I buy enough old bombs off eBay on the cheap then trade in for $3k new car coupons... I could buy an R35 GTR!

[Mayuri Krab]

Dam I shouldn't have sold my dad's old Subaru 1800 wagon for only $80... or my mum's old VN for $100 to the wreckers...

Just lost $5820 there...

NNNNOOOO!!!!!

[Slow S13]

FS: 1990 Skyline gxe..has had a hit in the rear...full of rust and drops litres of oil all day every day..still drives..and comes with1 week rego

$3000

[mystery_kid]

it's not even the government that is proposing it..

it was proposed to the government and will just be another one of those retarded things that will disappear out of the news by the end of the week

[kralster]

God some of you people are idiots.

I think you need to read the report again.

they have been doing this in california for years

it does not work there .................... but it will be differant here right ? no k-rud no it wont.

[OzCarImports]

Well I give them my 120y Coupe for $3000

Crazy Shit!

[s13_Skyline_inside]

pretty sure they'd have something in place so people cant just sell heaps of old cars and make money, but it will also stop people buying old shit boxes, as if your going to pay 3k for something worth 1k, i think they have something along the same lines in japan <-- could be wrong on that one
