looks like XJ's qualify for $3,500.00 govt. voucher upon trade in. Tempting to strip all the upgrades off the XJ, trade it in for a econo box for the kid to drive.
This program might hurt pick a parts buisness.

Damn, you can buy running XJ's for $500 all the time. It would be well worthwhile.
The vehicles just need to be running, and I think owned for a year with current reg.
You can not go out and buy one for the purpose of trading it in. It has to be owned and registered for the past year, I assume by the person trading it in.
So you're going to get rid of a reliable older vehicle thats cheap to insure and get your kid a brand new car that you'll likely have a payment on?
Why?
No I am not, just tempted. The reason would be reliability. Sure the XJ would be cheaper, even when you factor in minor and/or major repairs, thanks to the resources here at
However, not worring about breakdowns, being stranded or wondering what is next certainly does have value...in the right situation.
That being said...it was just a thought for those who are getting fed up with keeping older cars running.

EDIT: Not to mention, there are only 21 vehicles that qualify for purchase under this new plan, none of which I would like to own, much less make payments on or pay an increased insurance rate for.
