@Gomsel: I mean the Ford-action, 13-14 years before the 2009' "Abwrackprämie". Back in the mid-90ies, only Ford has made that. Opel and Fiat a bit, too, but there it was sometimes possible to save the old cars.
In 2009 it was founded and organized by the government. It was said, it should have been for the environment, but this was a lie. It was nothing more than a tax-money-paid subvention for the car-industry (and mostly for cheaper, smaller import-cars. Audi, Mercedes and Porsche didn't get anything of that). And Germany was not the only country, many European and other countries -the USA, too- had started similar actions.

Well, i understand. But to promote sales, the "swap plan" was also "promoted" by the government and the various brands that belong to Adefa. Of course my father would not change the Citroën for some "regional" waste (such as those named above)
