Here what I fond on VW official website:

If you buy a Volkswagen Golf S model you will get a total of £3,950 saving off diesel engines and £3,250 saving off petrol engines. This saving includes the £1,000 incentive from the Government.  This means you can now buy a new Golf S 1.4 80PS 3dr from £10,335 in conjunction with the government scrappage scheme. (Golf SE, GT, GTI and GTD models will continue to get the standard £2,000 scrappage scheme incentive).

Volkswagen are also offering a total of £4,250 saving off all models in the Passat range, including Saloon, Estate and CC.  This saving includes £1,000 incentive from the Government.  This means you can now buy a new Passat Saloon from £12,190 in conjunction with the government scrappage scheme.

But what about my old car?

To be eligible for this saving your old car must be scrapped under the new Government scheme. Your old car must have been registered on or before 31st August 1999 and you must have owned the car for a minimum of 1 year. The Government and Volkswagen will then contribute £1,000 each towards the price of your new Volkswagen.  The scheme will help remove older cars from our roads, replacing them with safer and more environmentally-friendly models.

Please contact your local retailer for further details of this scheme.

Government Scrappage Scheme – Full terms and conditions:

The Government Scrappage Scheme offer applies to vehicles registered to private retail customers. The scheme is available from 5th June 2009 until the Government funding expires or until 28th February 2010, whichever comes first.

The vehicle traded in must be a car or van registered on or before 31st August 1999, weighing up to 3.5 tonnes which has been registered to you continuously for 12 months before the order date of the new vehicle. You must have a UK address on the registration certificate and a current MOT test certificate and have no outstanding finance on the vehicle before the new vehicle is ordered.

The discount will be offered against new retail vehicles which are first registered in the UK on or after 5th June 2009 and declared new at first registration in the UK with no former keepers.

And the content, I have an idea to write about everything related to cars, not only the MK2, what about that?

It’s clear now that this post is not about Cars! It’s about the blog itself, so I will appreciate any feedbacks when ever you come through My Golf II blog.

Should I write about Volkswagen only?

This blog was specially created for the Volkswagen Golf MK2, as I am a fan of this specific car, but I am wondering what will happen in the feature of this blog, I have some experience now with blogs, so what is the plan for this one?!

Can the MK2 bring good traffic for this blog?  Do people search enough about this classic old car?! This is what I am wondering!

Should I shift it to write about all Volkswagen cars? Should I expand my blog to contain All Germany Cars? Or open it up and make it more wider?

Should I change my blog Categories?

Maybe changing categories of the blog is a good idea, but what categories should I have? suggest some categories for me!

Oh I was almost forgetting to tell you, I’ve setup Evid theme from Elegant Themes for it’s nice options and easily integrating videos, you can get the collection through my affiliate link, which means if you signed up through this link, this will help me to get a commission through Elegant Themes affiliate program.  They have a very nice program, I am still on  Level 1, which means I will get 50% for each sale I deliver.

Give a visit to my personal blog if you have time, I am using a theme from the same collection that you can see it in action.

In this post I will give you a link to where I found lot of answers for my questions, I found answers by searching Answerbag, it’s another website using the yahoo answers way, on this section you will find it all about Golf MK2.

The entry-level model starts from £13,150. That will get you into the base S three-door model with a 1.4 liter 80PS engine. Prices rise to £20,980 for the range-topping GT five-door with 2.0-litre TDI 140 PS and six-speed DSG gearbox.

Inside, the adoption of materials and equipment usually associated with a vehicle in a higher class give a high quality feel, enhanced by new soft touch plastics and tasteful aluminum and chrome highlights.

Oh man! .. I like that car.. It’s the car of my dreams!

Can any one believe that prices of used cars in Egypt is going down by 25% , which means I will lose 10.000 Egyptian money?

Car buyers made me think that I am stupid when I didn’t accept the 35.000 last week, when I was asking for 37.000 thinking that it’s a decent price for me and for the person who will buy the car, so .. now.. there is no more offers more than 32.500 for my car!

Prices are going down and down every week, and of course this is not happening to me only but to everyone who has an old used car, lots of people will lose their money just because they wanted to sale their used cars now. The weird thing is that the new brand car market is not touched yet! So I am keeping wondering why this happened in the used car market only?!

To have a market anywhere there is 3 basic things that should exists all together, these thing are the seller, the buyer and the goods. This is what makes me think that there is no used car market in Egypt now, and I definitely can say that the market is shutting down!

Car buyers could be the lucky one these days -if they exists- But where are they? Are they on the couch dreaming of lower prices everyday so they can get better cars for less price?!

I hope this problem will finish soon, because people here are crazy, when they sale they want the highest price, and when they buy the don’t want pay anything!
