The Chancellor announced the new car & van scrappage allowance in April 2009 .

If your car is 10 years or older you will receive £2,000 or more discount on a new car.  The deadline for this offer has been extended to the end of March 2010 (or until the Governement funding has been used up).

Demand for cars at Pebley Beach as part of this scheme has been high and continues to grow with customers keen to make the most of this offer before the deadline expires.

We will do our best to give you "Best Advice" about the Scrappage scheme.

  • We recommend you come in and discuss it with us.
  • We will show you what cars we have to offer.
  • We do not believe in putting pressure on our customers so you will not be railroaded or pressured into buying a car.
  • If you are interested we will order a suitable car (therefore securing you a vehicle if you decide to go ahead).
  • You will be under no pressure or obligation to buy the vehicle - we will have just secured the model and colour for you.  If you decide not to go through with buying the car we are confident we will be able to sell it to another customer in the very near future.

Dealers to do "all the paperwork" for scrappage

 

Wednesday, 22 April 2009
Dealers will do all the paperwork for motorists participating in the scrappage scheme, announced in the Budget today and arrange for the old vehicle to be scrapped.

 

Dealers will also check that the vehicle being traded in and the new one being bought qualify under the scheme.

The £2,000 scrappage grant is made up of £1,000 from government with matched funding from industry. The scheme will operate from mid-May until March 2010 or until the government funding has been used.

It applies to commercial vans (up to 3.5 tonnes) as well as cars that are 10 years old or older. The scheme is a voluntary scheme so not all manufacturers or dealers may participate. (PEBLEY BEACH WILL BE PARTICIPATING AT ALL SITES)

• Passenger car or small van up to 3.5 tonnes
• First registered in United Kingdom on or before 31 July 1999
• Currently registered with DVLA to the registered keeper making the application, or currently on Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN)
• Current MOT test certificate
• Registered Keeper must have a UK address
• The registered keeper has been the registered keeper of the vehicle continuously for the preceding 12 calendar months before the order date of the new vehicle

The new cars must be:

• Passenger car or small van up to 3.5 tonnes
• First registered in the UK or after the date the scrappage scheme is launched and declared new at first registration in the UK with no former keepers
• UK specification vehicle
• Registered to the same registered keeper as the registered keeper of the eligible vehicle to be scrapped
