The car scrappage scheme is to be extended for a further month until the end of March.  As no extra funds will be provided, it is best to buy as soon as you can to avoid disappointment if the funding for the scheme runs out.

Here is how the scheme works:

• In exchange for scrapping your used car and buying a new one the Government and Manufacturers will contribute a total of £2,000 towards the purchase of a new car
• The scheme started on May 18th 2009 and on September 28th 2009the scheme was extended to include an extra 100,000 vehicles
• The scheme is open to cars or commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes
• To be eligible, the cars you scrap must have been first registered on 29 February 2000 or before, while for vans it will change to 28 February 2002 or before.
• To claim the Scrappage Scheme, the owner must be the registered keeper of old vehicle for at least 1 year and the vehicle must have an up to date MOT
• The scheme will be available to the first 400,000 eligible claimants or until 31 March 2010, whichever is sooner.
