What about manufacturer scrappage schemes?
While there is no national car scrappage scheme on the horizon, several manufacturers are currently offering their own scrappage incentives, including Citroen, Mazda and Toyota. If you have one of these cars, or one of the other makes with a scrappage scheme, you may be able to trade it in and scrap it in return for money towards a new vehicle.
However, the thing with manufacturer scrappage schemes is that they tend to come with several stipulations. In many cases, your old car has to meet a set of criteria before it’s eligible and of course, the money you receive has to be spent on a new car from the same manufacturer. Often there are limitations on the model of car you can put your money towards too. Taking this into account, it’s easy to see that scrapping a car in this way simply cannot give you the same freedom of choice as scrapping your car through a comparison website like ours.
So, what are you waiting for? Don’t let the lack of a UK car scrappage scheme stop you from getting behind the wheel of a shiny new car. Find out what you could get for your old vehicle by getting a quote now and let us help you turn it into a new car fund.
