What is the Scrappage Allowance Scheme?
The Vauxhall Scrappage Allowance Scheme allows customers to trade in a car of any age or manufacturer that they have owned for at least 90 days for £2000 off a new Vauxhall.
When was it introduced?
The scheme was introduced in 2009 and proved to be a big hit. More than 390,000 drivers took advantage of the deal that year, which was a huge relief for Vauxhall in the wake of the recession.
What’s different?
| 2009 | Now |
|---|---|
| The £2000 allowance was split between the government and Vauxhall, in a bid to save a declining economy and promote vehicle recycling. | Vauxhall will contribute the full £2000 as a part-exchange value towards a new Vauxhall car. |
| Only accepted vehicles purchased over 10 years ago. | Accepts vehicles owned for more than 90 days. There is no upper age limit. |
Take advantage of great deals
Arnold Clark Vauxhall Franchise Manager, David Boyd, said:
‘The Vauxhall Scrappage Scheme, contributing £2000 towards a customer’s new car, alongside our existing offers including low cost PCP, list price discounts and fixed price servicing, helps to make our Vauxhall deals irresistible.’
Customers could even choose new cars with Vauxhall’s OnStar comprehensive package. This exciting new in-car technology package includes emergency response notifications, vehicle recovery and a high-speed 4G Wi-Fi connection.
