Sadly, the proposed Diesel Scrappage Scheme will not mean an end to the Fast and Furious movie franchise.
If anything, it’s likely Vin Diesel and his hot-rodders will still be driving high-octane cars into each other long after they’re eligible for bus passes.
No, this retirement scheme is aimed not at the film star but diesel cars, which have come under fire as being a major cause of air pollution.
As part of the plan to ditch diesel, financial incentives could be made available to encourage drivers of older oil guzzlers to swap them for more environmentally friendly models.
Sad news if you still love your tractor-engine cabriolet.
The good news, however, is that such a scrappage scheme could lead to a boost for the car industry with lots more sales of new cars at a time when deals are already at an all-time high.
Sales hit a peak in March this year, when a total of 562,337 new vehicles took to the road – that’s a Vin Diesel-style car jump of 8.4% on the previous year.
So, if you want to work in car sales, you best be ready to be very busy.
Get ready, too, to be well rewarded.
A sales executive for one of the big dealerships who hits their targets can expect to earn £35,000.
A company car, on-the-job training and the support of a large organisation are also just some of the job benefits.
So what do you need to bring to the forecourt to jack your sales career up to this level?
Experience in sales, a proven record of doing deals, an ability to build relationships with customers so they keep returning and the resilience to persist when others would give up are all gold stars.
Even if you don’t have the necessary work experience, there are opportunities to get started through a trainee sales advisor scheme.
You’ll get paid while you learn essential skills, you’ll be shown all the best practices and professional techniques and you’ll get to work with colleagues who share your drive for sales and commitment to customers.
This isn’t so much about getting your foot on a career ladder, as putting yourself behind the wheel and accelerating your way to the top.
