Scrappage increases Nissan sales
As a result of existing scrappage initiatives operating on the continent, as well as the forthcoming UK scheme beginning later this month, Nissan Sunderland Plant is expecting additional, short-term customer demand for Micra, Note and Qashqai.Last month Nissan experienced a year-on-year increase in sales in major European markets currently operating a scrappage scheme. This includes Germany (+9%), France (+31%) and Italy (+21%).
Ford share of market increases
Ford's share of last month's car market increased by 3.9 percentage points, compared with April 2008, providing the blue oval brand with a market-leading 18.4 per cent of registrations according to industry figures.
Great news for scrappage buyers
Škoda, the manufacturer of happy drivers, is helping customers to make one last journey in their qualifying ten-year old cars, with some of the most competitive offers in the industry.
Škoda has confirmed its participation in the government’s scrappage scheme. It might be an emotional journey to trade in an old car, but low on-the-road prices and very attractive finance offers on vehicles across the Škoda range will make it easier to say goodbye.
The Škoda Fabia, the country’s favourite supermini, now starts at just £5,995 with the manufacturer topping up the government’s £1,000 payment with a contribution of over £1,600. The Octavia, Škoda’s award-winning mid-size family car, is now available from only £8,995, with the brand adding £1,545 to the government’s £1,000.
All other models, including the award-winning flagship Superb and the popular Roomster, have £2,500 off, with £1,500 of that contributed by Škoda.

Vauxhall embraces UK Government’s Scrappage Programme
VAUXHALL GAVE its wholehearted support today to the Government’s Scrappage Programme, and confirmed that it would roll out the £2,000 discount across its full range of car and commercial vehicles, while maintaining all its existing finance offers – and some additional discounts, too.
Astra buyers, for example, will now benefit from not only a straight £2,000 discount across any car in the range, but also Vauxhall’s ‘You Pay, We Pay’ deal on eligible models, which gives them five per cent cash back on the amount financed, combined with nought per cent finance for up to four years, and free redundancy cover.
And if that weren’t enough, buyers who plump for the British-built Astra Life 1.4 hatchback receive a £3,870 ‘Scrap and Save’ discount from participating dealers, in addition to the £2,000 scrappage discount, reducing the price to £8,995 – a total saving of £5,870 off the recommended retail price.
Other Vauxhall models have also combined existing offers with the scrappage discount to make some of the most tempting new car buys on the market. All Zafiras, Merivas and Tigras benefit from the ‘You Pay, We Pay’ cash back, while the Corsa range retains nought per cent finance for three years on all its models. For extra peace of mind, all buyers who finance their purchase through GMAC receive free redundancy cover.
And for those buyers who thought that a new Vauxhall was just out of reach, the great news is that the recently launched Agila range now starts at £6,995 for the generously equipped Club 1.0i ecoFLEX model, after participating dealers apply a special £2,430 ‘Scrap and Save’ discount, which includes the regular £2,000 scrappage discount .
Best of all, for those buyers who take up the scrappage scheme, Vauxhall retailers will be happy to handle all the paperwork for them, including the arrangements for their old car to be scrapped.
