Volkswagen announced Government Scrappage Scheme

Volkswagen are pleased to announce some additional contributions to the Government’s car scrappage scheme. I found this news on Volkswagen official website

Here what I fond on VW official website:

If you buy a Volkswagen Golf S model you will get a total of £3,950 saving off diesel engines and £3,250 saving off petrol engines. This saving includes the £1,000 incentive from the Government.  This means you can now buy a new Golf S 1.4 80PS 3dr from £10,335 in conjunction with the government scrappage scheme. (Golf SE, GT, GTI and GTD models will continue to get the standard £2,000 scrappage scheme incentive).

Volkswagen are also offering a total of £4,250 saving off all models in the Passat range, including Saloon, Estate and CC.  This saving includes £1,000 incentive from the Government.  This means you can now buy a new Passat Saloon from £12,190 in conjunction with the government scrappage scheme.

But what about my old car?

To be eligible for this saving your old car must be scrapped under the new Government scheme. Your old car must have been registered on or before 31st August 1999 and you must have owned the car for a minimum of 1 year. The Government and Volkswagen will then contribute £1,000 each towards the price of your new Volkswagen.  The scheme will help remove older cars from our roads, replacing them with safer and more environmentally-friendly models.

Please contact your local retailer for further details of this scheme.

Government Scrappage Scheme – Full terms and conditions:

The Government Scrappage Scheme offer applies to vehicles registered to private retail customers. The scheme is available from 5th June 2009 until the Government funding expires or until 28th February 2010, whichever comes first.
