In the Budget on Wednesday 22 April, Chancellor Alistair Darling announced the introduction of a Government Scrappage Scheme, a £2,000 allowance on vehicles aged 10 years or over.
· In exchange for scrapping your old vehicle and buying a new one the Government and Manufactures will contribute a total of £2,000 towards the purchase of a new vehicle
· The scheme started on May 18th 2009
· The scheme is open to cars or commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes
· To be eligible, the vehicle you scrap must have been first registered on or prior to 31 July 1999
· To claim the Scrappage Scheme, the owner must be the registered keeper of old vehicle for at least 1 year and the vehicle must have an up to date MOT
· The scheme will be available to the first 300,000 eligible claimants or until 31 March 2010, whichever is sooner
· Caffyns Dealers will take care of everything for you, including claiming the incentive on your behalf and arranging scrapping of the vehicle
In order to benefit from the cash incentive, all you need to do is take your vehicle to your Caffyns Dealer, who will take care of everything for you. It couldn’t be easier.
In addition, there are huge savings on a variety of makes and models, even if your car does not comply with the scheme, so please see each of our franchises.
