£2,000 Scrappage Scheme At SLM Vauxhall

The Government Scrappage Programme provides eligible customers with a £2000 Vauxhall/Government saving when they trade in and scrap their qualifying old vehicle and purchase a brand new Vauxhall car or commercial vehicle.

The Programme is time-limited and runs from 18.05.09 to 28.02.10, unless the fixed budget for the Programme runs out sooner. The total funding available from the Government for the Programme has now been extended and is £400m, available on a first come first served basis.

The Government also announced changes to the qualifying period, which will now allow cars registered on or before 29 February 2000 (V registration) and vans on or before 28 February 2002 (Y registration or earlier, or new style number plates where the 3rd and 4th digits of the registration number are 51) to qualify under the Scrappage scheme.

The Programme is co-funded with Vauxhall. The Government will pay £1000 towards the cost of a new vehicle, with Vauxhall paying the remaining £1000 of the Programme Incentive.

In addition to this £2000 total Scrappage saving, Vauxhall is offering a range of other incentives, which mean that buying a new Vauxhall has never been easier. What's more, your Vauxhall retailer will handle all of the paperwork for you, including the arrangements for your old vehicle to be scrapped.

How to take advantage of the vehicle discount scheme:

1. Call us on freephone 08448 116474, visit our St Leonards dealership or email us to register your interest and make sure your £2,000 scrappage discount is reserved.
2. We will confirm to you that your current vehicle is eligible (see below)
3. You can then choose a new vehicle from a fantastic selection that includes small town cars, family saloons and large mpvs
4. Once a vehicle has been chosen, the £2000 discount will be deducted from the price you pay for the new vehicle. This will be shown on your invoice when you take delivery.
5. We will complete all of the paperwork and arrange for your vehicle to be scrapped.
6. When you collect your new vehicle we will take your old one and ensure that it is scrapped in an environmentally friendly way.

To be eligible, the vehicle you are trading in must:

- be first registered on or before 31 July 1999 - this means it must be a 99 T plate or older.

Scrapped for cash! Vauxhall celebrates success of scrappage scheme with £2,000 giveaway

Del Boy and David Dickinson will be praising British bargain hunters today, as research from Vauxhall reveals that over 150,000 old bangers have been scrapped for a cash bonus towards a younger model.

According to the research, London is driving the cars for cash scheme with almost one in ten owners upgrading their wheels, compared to Cornwall and East Anglia where only 1% of drivers have scrapped their cars.

To mark London taking the title of the Banger Capital of Britain, Vauxhall has created the first ever Cash Car - an Astra encrusted with £2,000 worth of loose change.

The car, which is covered from boot to bonnet in bona-fide British mint was mobbed today by hundreds of commuters at Liverpool Street station, eager to pocket some free cash.

Simon Ewart from Vauxhall Motors added, "We fully support the scrappage scheme and feel that the first ever Cash Car is a great way to bring to life the benefits of trading in your old car for a newer, safer and more environmentally friendly model. Hopefully, we gave commuters more than they bargained for on their journey to work this morning!"

The activity coincides with Vauxhall's nationwide Direct Mail campaign driving 100,000 car owners to take part in the Government's scrappage scheme.
