A number of press reports are now suggesting that the success of the Government's vehicle scrappage scheme means that it will run out of money this autumn. Our advice is don't miss out. If you own a qualifying vehicle as described below then why not give us a call.

To qualify, vehicles must:

• Be a car or small van weighing up to 3,500 kilograms (kg)
• Have been first registered in the UK on or before 31 August 1999
• Either have a current tax disc, or have a current tax disc and a current Hackney Carriage Licence, or an MOT certificate which expired no earlier than 14 days before the date of the contract between the Purchaser and the Dealer for the acquisition of title to the vehicle by the Purchaser
• Have been registered to you continuously for 12 calendar months before the order date of the new vehicle
• Have a UK address on the registration certificate (V5C) in the same name as the new vehicle
• Have a current MOT test certificate before date of order for the new vehicle

Scrapping a qualifying vehicle under the scheme earns you £2000 from the Government and Ford (£1000 conribution each)towards the cost of a new vehicle. This saving is on top of any other deal or saving currently being offered.
