Scrappage scheme nears end



The final phase of the Government’s scrappage scheme began on February 24, said Business Secretary Peter Mandelson today, reminding would-be car buyers to take advantage of the scheme before it closes. There are now less than 50,000 potential further orders left.

As part of the exit phase the Department of Business has allocated potential order quotas to manufacturers based on brand popularity. This quota allocation process will help ensure a smooth closing of the scheme.



Lord Mandelson, Business Secretary said:

“This is last orders for the scrappage scheme. Car owners need to move quickly to avoid disappointment if they want to buy a new car at a discount.

“Industry figures have showed again and again the benefits that the scrappage scheme is continuing to deliver to the automotive sector and beyond. It is great news that in January scrappage helped the industry to achieve its biggest output gain since May 1976."

The UK scheme, with up to £400m from Government and matched funding from manufacturers, is intended to provide a short term boost to industry and stimulate consumer demand during the downturn. It has also removed older vehicles from the road and encouraged consumers to invest in new, safer, and potentially more environmentally friendly models.

  3. Some old and still usable cars becomes trash because other people just left them behind because it's too old. For me money matters so I just restore my old cars and I buy used cars and get better used car dealerships. In orange county, there are better used cars that are for sale and every car in that place really counts.

  4. I tend to disagree with the scrappage scheme it wasn't thought out very good ,a lot of the cars that were scrapped were perfectly good cars while old bangers that their owners were not able to afford anew car were left on the road . I juat there were a lot better way of spending £400M of out tax payers money to kick start the economy .

  17. Thanks for sharing this information..in India today used car are more in demand because used car dealers are providing some warranty on used car and services.buying your favorite car in your budget is also a good option but don't invest according to appearance but choose a good gas mileage car.new car eat your finance rapidly so better to go for a used car..
