Nissan extends Brit deal
March 31st, 2010 by Richard Aucock
NISSAN is offering a minimum £2k trade-in deal against any new British-built car as scrappage ends.
The new trade-in deal sees eligibility extended to cars 7 years or older – that’s motors registered on or before 31 August 2003.
As ever, the deal requires cars to have a valid MOT, and also have been owned by the person doing the deal for a minimum of a year.
But the deal does NOT require the cars to be scrapped. This is how Nissan will help car dealers profit from the scheme, by being able to get better prices for old but still saleable motors at auction.
MD of Nissan GB, Paul Willcox, said ‘there’s no doubt the Government’s Scrappage Scheme along with our own Trade-in Scheme has given the UK automotive industry a boost.
‘As Britain’s biggest car builder, we hope that by extending our scheme we can sustain the positive results seen to date and continue to support the British economy.’
Nissan unveiled the scheme with a ‘scrappage special’ – a motley collection of cars as long as a double decker bus! It took 4 people more than 500 hours to create, and includes over 2000 parts.
Cunningly, it was built on site in Central London, thus escaping the congestion charge…
It’s now going to be put on permanent display at Nissan’s Sunderland plant.
