Scrappage Scheme

It looks like the government may introduce a scrappage scheme in line with other EU countries.
It has proved an enormous success in Germany with record breaking sales.

Citroen have this month introduced their own scheme which, although limited, has already generated a huge amount of interest.

Scrappage basically involves having your old car scrapped at an authorised facility and receiving a certificate of destruction in return - which can be exchanged for a £2000 voucher towards the purchase of a new car.

There are criteria of course:
The car must be older than January 1st 2000
It must be roadworthy at the time of scrapping - insured, taxed, mot'd
You must have owned it in your name for at least 1 year and the name and address on the V5 must match the name and address for the new car registration.

The Citroen scheme is already doing very well so no doubt will be copied by others....
