Scrappage manufacturer roundup – who’s offering what, on which cars

The majority of UK car manufacturers have acknowledged their willingness to take part in the government scrappage scheme to exchange vehicles over 10 years old for £2,000 towards the cost of a new car.

The table below shows which of the major car manufacturers in the UK are offering which kinds of incentives against which vehicles in their range.  Some are limiting them to just UK made cars (such as Nissan) while others are waiting to find out more specific details which have yet to be forthcoming from the government.

Manufacturer	Details	Vehicles
Audi	Register interest	No Audi models mentioned specifically
BMW	Scrappage page	This page quotes scrappage related prices for its 116i Sport 3-door model
Citroen	Scrappage page	Citroen has applied the scrappage scheme to all vehicles, with additional discounts on some models.
Ford	Scrappage page	Up to £5,000 on new Ka, Fiesta Zetec, Fusion Style, Focus (Style, Coupe-Cabriolet) C-Max Kuga Titanium, Mondeo Edge, S-Max Edge, Galaxy Edge. Bigger discounts are available on the larger, more expensive models.
KIA	Scrappage page	Specific scrappage deals are being offered on the Picanto, Rio, Soul, ceed, ceed SW and pro ceed models.
Nissan	Nissan offers site	Extends offer for old vehicles over eight years old rather than just ten and only applies to UK built vehicles from its range. These are the Nissan Micra, Micra C+C, Note, Qashqai and Qashqai +2 only.

Volkswagen	Scrappage page	Register to receive updates.
Volvo	Scrappage page	Applies the government scheme to all vehicles, but also offers additional discounts on it’s C30 DRIVe low emissions vehicle.

 
The number of manufacturers who are simply letting potential customers register interest is a good indication of the lack of detailed information about the scheme currently available.  Whilst customers can go into showrooms and buy cars under the scheme already, only the likes of Citroen, Nissan, Kia and Ford are stating exactly what discounts they are applying and to which vehicles.  Acceptance and discounts also seem to vary depending on the dealership, according to some car buyers trying to take advantage of the scheme.
