The vehicle discount scheme – money off your new vehicle

The vehicle discount or ‘scrappage’ scheme is a voluntary scheme for motor dealers. we’ll give you £2,000 off a new vehicle if you let us scrap your old one.

The scheme will run from mid May 2009 to March 2010, depending on whether its fixed budget runs out sooner.

How to take advantage of the vehicle discount scheme

Contact us and we will check that your vehicle and the new vehicle you want to buy both meet the rules of the scheme. When the sale is agreed, we will sort out the paperwork and arrange for your vehicle to be scrapped.

The discount is deducted from the price you pay for the new vehicle and will be shown on your invoice when you take delivery of your new vehicle.
