Up to £2,000 Scrappage Allowance offered towards the cost of a new Vauxhall, Better discounts can be found if you look !

  • Up to £2,000 Scrappage Allowance offered towards the cost of a new Vauxhall
  • Most passenger cars across the Vauxhall range are eligible
  • Option to combine scrappage allowance with one of Vauxhall’s flexible finance offers
  • Classic vehicle ‘safety net’ from recycling partners, Autogreen
Vauxhall’s popular Scrappage Allowance Scheme is back, offering customers up to £2,000 (including VAT) towards a new Vauxhall when they trade-in their car for scrappage.
To make the cost of a new car more affordable, customers can combine the Scrappage Allowance with one of Vauxhall’s great finance offers including Flexible Personal Contract Purchase Plans (PCP). 
Available on a selection of Vauxhall models, the finance offers give low monthly payments and all the flexibility that PCP finance allows at the end of the chosen term.
The scrappage scheme will be running from the 15th November 2016, and is eligible on cars ordered and registered before 31st December 2016. 
Cars being traded-in must be registered to the customer at least 90 days prior to the order date of the new vehicle. If choosing a new Astra, Mokka, Mokka X, GTC, new Zafira Tourer, Insignia or Cascada model, customers will receive £2,000 (including VAT) towards the cost of their new car.
“We are pleased to welcome back our Scrappage Allowance Scheme, helping customers to fund their new car with up to £2,000 for their old model,” commented Leon Caruso, Vauxhall’s Retail Sales Director. “Not only can customers potentially receive more for their outgoing model, but they can also use this in conjunction with some of Vauxhall’s great finance offers, making their new Vauxhall even more affordable.”
As part of the scheme, vehicles must be traded-in to be scrapped in order to be eligible for the allowance. Any car, with a maximum of nine seats, can be traded in. The VIVA, ADAM JAM, Corsa Sting, Corsa Sting R and Corsa Diamond are not eligible for the Scrappage Allowance.
Taking our responsibility for our products seriously, the previous scrappage campaign, which ran last year, led to the scrapping of approaching 15,000 older, more polluting vehicles. This increased the volume of scrap cars to enable the industry to meet its 95 per cent recovery target.
However, Vauxhall’s scrappage programme is not designed to rid the world of classic cars. As a result, Autogreen, Vauxhall’s recycling partner, will identify any cars manufactured prior to 1991 that are presented through the scheme and inform Vauxhall’s Luton HQ. Relevant owners’ clubs will then be notified, giving them the opportunity to purchase parts through the Authorised Treatment Facility.
“Vauxhall has immense respect for the UK’s classic car groups, irrespective of what make or model they support,” said Simon Hucknall, PR Manager for Vauxhall Product & Heritage. “The Scrappage Allowance is designed to capture vehicles that are beyond economical repair, and given the low value of scrap metal, recycling of parts is vital to the scheme’s viability. We’re also confident that the number of genuine classics over 25 years old presented to the scheme will be minimal, especially given the steady rise in value of even the most mainstream collectors’ cars in recent years. But if we do see any, our ‘safety-net’ will ensure that classic car owners and clubs will benefit.”

Volkswagen works it's way through September with offers on the revamped Amarok Pick Up truck.

  • New finance offers available on great value Amarok pick-up
  • 0% APR available on Solutions Personal Contract Plan for £299* per month
  • Highline models come with free satellite navigation system
  • Attractive finance lease and contract hire packages also available  
Customers wanting to pop a 66-plate on the perfect pick-up need look no further this month than the award-winning Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ Amarok. 
Not only do all Highline models registered from now until the end of September come with a factory-fit RNS 315 satellite navigation system** as well as a choice of two chrome packs, but there are also a number of competitive finance offers, including zero per cent finance on Solutions Personal Contract Plans.

This latest offer, available from now until the end of September, means customers can acquire a top-of-the-range Amarok Highline 2.0-litre Bi-TDI 180 PS with satellite navigation system on Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ Solutions Personal Contract Plan (PCP) for £299 per month (0% APR representative), based on a 36 month 10,000 miles per annum agreement*.
Available to private buyers, the Solutions PCP provides a flexible and affordable route for individuals to purchase their new vehicle. An agreed future value of the vehicle, flexible annual mileage limits and variable deposit amounts enables customers to reduce monthly repayments.
Extra spec is also standard this month on the Highline: an RNS 315 satellite navigation system is neatly integrated in the Amarok’s dashboard, while two chrome pack options make the pick-up stand out from the crowd. One includes chrome door handle covers, chrome side indicator surrounds and mirror caps plus a polished steel rear styling bar. The second removes the rear styling bar to allow the fitment of a hardtop from the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles range. With this option, the customer is given a £500 contribution towards a hardtop of their choice.
Businesses interested in the Amarok can take advantage of a number of finance lease deals, for example an Amarok Trendline from £239 per month.
The Amarok boasts car-like driveability and comfort in combination with robust off-road capability. Currently available with a choice of two 2.0-litre engines with 140 PS or a bi-turbo version with 180 PS, all models also have 4MOTION four-wheel drive. Three standard specification levels are offered – Startline, Trendline and Highline (subject to availability).
For more details of the latest offers on the Amarok, please contact your local Volkswagen Van Centre or go to www.volkswagen-vans.co.uk.

Electric September hits Nissan dealers with buyers of the LEAF and e-NV200 to receive a £500 reward offer.

Nissan is celebrating reaching 15,000 UK sales of its 100% electric LEAF with a £500 reward to all retail customers purchasing a LEAF or e-NV200 in its ‘Electric September’ sales event.
The £500 reward is on top of a range of attractive deals available. A 24kWh LEAF Acenta is currently being offered on a 3-year PCP with £249 monthly payments, £5,000 Nissan deposit contribution, free home charging unit (worth £390) and just 5.99% APR representative.

The 15,000th LEAF customer was a Mrs Jenny Craik, who purchased her LEAF Acenta from West Way Nissan in Aldershot, Hampshire. Jenny said; “When I was researching a new car, the Nissan LEAF offered great running cost savings against my 14-plate Ford Fiesta, even though the Nissan’s a bigger car. 
Together with the environmental positives made it a really attractive package. My husband drives a plug-in hybrid and he’s already competing with me to spend time in the LEAF as it’s just an enjoyable driving experience.”
The 15,000 sales milestone was reached just over a year after Nissan marked 10,000 LEAFs registered in Great Britain (July 2015). Since its 2011 launch, the UK has been responsible for around one in four LEAF sales in Europe. As electric vehicle uptake continues to gather pace, there has been more demand for LEAF in the UK in the last 12 months than the model’s first three years of being on sale.
Ed Jones, EV Manager at Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd, said; “Nissan LEAF owners are some of the most satisfied drivers on the roads today. They’ve realised switching to all-electric power delivers so many benefits – running costs around four times cheaper than that of a conventional combustion engine and up to 40 percent savings in vehicle maintenance, to name but a few. There’s good reason the LEAF is the best-selling EV in the UK and we hope our September sales offer will inspire even more people to make the switch.”
The £500 reward offer is valid on all Nissan electric vehicle purchases until 30th September and registered by 31st December 2016. Customers will be issued with a £500 pre-paid debit card issued on registration of the vehicle. Available to cash and finance customers. 
The Nissan LEAF is the world’s best-selling all-electric vehicle and there are now more than 230,000 on the road globally with around 61,000 in Europe. In 2015 Nissan announced it had saved 50 million kg of carbon emissions in Europe alone with sales of the LEAF.

IRELAND - Volkswagen is now financing 33% of all VW sales in Ireland through their own bank.

  • Over 1 in 3 Volkswagen Group Ireland new cars now financed by Volkswagen Bank Ireland
  • 10 new positions to be created in Volkswagen Bank Ireland by 2017
Volkswagen Bank Ireland provided Irish consumers with car loans to the value of more than €340 million so far in 2016. This represents a strong growth of 39% for the bank which lent about €245 million to Irish consumers during the same period in 2015.
Personal Contract Plans (PCP) continue to increase in popularity with the bank now offering affordable and flexible plans across all Volkswagen Group brands. 

With Volkswagen Bank guaranteeing a minimum future value for the cars, 90% of customers surveyed this July were happy with the trade-in value of their car at the end of their agreement and 97% of all customers were happy with their finance arrangement with Volkswagen Bank. Volkswagen Group brands remain number one in the marketplace accounting for 23% of all new car sales. 
Volkswagen Bank finances 38% of these cars sold, accounting for nearly 9% (8.74%) of the total car market.
Commenting on the bank’s performance, Conor Threadgold, Head of Sales, Volkswagen Bank Ireland, said, "We are very pleased with our performance so far this year and the growth that it represents. 
The success of the Volkswagen group offering combined with our innovative and customer-focused finance solutions has delivered a loyal customer base which has helped us to further grow the business. 
Unlike most other car brands, Volkswagen Bank guarantees the minimum future value of the vehicle. This removes the depreciation and negative equity risk and provides comfort for the customer when planning for the future."
This achievement comes at an exciting time of growth for Volkswagen Bank Ireland. The company currently employs 69 people and the total number of employees is expected to grow by 10% to approximately 75 by year end, rising further in 2017.
Volkswagen Bank continues to support the Volkswagen Group brands through the provision of flexible finance packages and innovative products. Most recently, the bank launched a motor insurance offering on Volkswagen Up! and Polo models, recognising it’s growing customer base’s need for accessible and affordable mobility.

Mitsubish announces it's latest round of offers from low APR and PCP deals, to deposit contributions.

Mitsubishi dealers across Britain have great offers to warm to across the brand’s fabulous vehicle range now that the warmer weather is here – from the Mirage city car to the iconic L200 pick-up.
The Mitsubishi Mirage
The Mirage has been designed to be just as at home on busy city streets as it is on country lanes. It’s got a winning blend of chic styling, exceptional comfort and low running costs. 

Features include heated front seats, cruise control with limiter and the Mitsubishi Multi Entertainment System (MMES) – which includes satellite navigation plus a rear-view camera. 
The model also boasts electric folding door mirrors with integral indicators. And the Mirage has equally fabulous Mitsubishi Personal Lease offers from £135 a month* as well as a 5.9% APR representative** PCP deal, too.
Available as a manual or an automatic, the Mirage, which can seat five people, has a boot capacity of 235 litres, while the 1.2 three-cylinder petrol engine is Euro 6b-compliant and delivers a wallet-friendly 65.7mpg. Emissions are just 100g/km CO2 for the manual and 99g/km for the CVT, which means owners don’t pay any vehicle tax and there’s no liability for the London congestion charge either.
The Mitsubishi ASX
Available with a choice of powerful, yet efficient, petrol and diesel engines, the awesome ASX crossover offers impressive fuel economy but still packs plenty of pulling power. It also boasts a five-star Euro-NCAP safety rating and is available as a four-wheel drive.
It’s available with a £1,000 VAT-inclusive deposit contribution (at participating dealers only) towards a 5.9% APR representative** PCP deal.
Among the specifications, the entry-level ASX ZC has steering wheel audio controls, privacy glass and a premium front centre arm rest/console box. The ASX ZC-M has a number of key specification items to create a fresh new look and feel, including new 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels plus DAB digital radio, while the range-topping ASX ZC-H has a factory-fitted Mitsubishi Multi-Communication System, boasting a seven-inch high-definition touchscreen display, sat nav, reversing camera, DAB plus FM/AM/LW radio, CD players and SD card compatibility. All engines in the new range meet the latest Euro 6 emission regulations.
The Mitsubishi Outlander
The Outlander diesel has a new and amazing £2,000 customer loyalty offer available to any existing Mitsubishi vehicle owner, not just Outlander owners, at participating dealers***.
Among its many enhancements, the latest Outlander diesel has had 40 noise, vibration and harshness improvements. As well as an improved appearance, which includes new-look LED headlamps and new rear lamps, ride and handling have been made even better, while the cabin interior has increased levels of comfort and safety. It has a five-star Euro-NCAP safety rating, boasts incredible fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions, and is lighter, quieter and more refined than ever. What’s more, there’s a fantastic 5.9% APR representative PCP finance offer as well**.
The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
The multi-award-winning Outlander PHEV is the nation’s favourite choice of plug-in vehicle, with Mitsubishi having sold more than 15,000 of them in the UK since the SUV’s launch here in 2014. And with the latest model, fuel economy has been improved – up from 148mpg to 156mpg – while CO2 emissions are down from 44g/km to 42g/km.
The Outlander PHEV, which continues to benefit from a 5.9% APR representative** PCP deal, can travel 32½ miles in electric mode alone – more than enough to accommodate most daily average journey distances. Together with its petrol engine, it has a combined range in excess of 500 miles.
The vehicle is exempt from vehicle tax plus the London congestion charge and qualifies for the Government’s Plug-in Car Grant and Plug-in Van Grant.
The Mitsubishi Shogun
The legendary Shogun continues to have a 5.9% APR representative** PCP offer on the passenger vehicles, making the 4x4 that’s ready to tackle anything a truly attractive proposition.
Originally launched in 1982, the Shogun brought to the world a whole new breed of vehicle: a 4x4 that was tough enough to go where others feared to tread yet enjoyed the sort of sophisticated specification more normally associated with top-end saloons. 
Needless to say, it’s changed and been updated since then, but it’s still a dyed-in-the-wool, no-holds-barred, authentic off-roader, built to outlast the opposition. Seventy per cent of all new Shoguns are bought by former Shogun owners – do you need convincing any further about its merits?
The Mitsubishi L200
With its fantastic all-terrain driving capability matched with superb power and performance, the ultimate pick-up that is the Mitsubishi L200 really is a four-wheeled workmate like no other, and the all-new Series 5 model, which was launched in July 2015 to great acclaim, has a 5.9% APR representative** PCP offer on all variants.
The Series 5 was named Best Pick-Up 2015 by judges at Auto Express – the UK’s top automobile weekly – ahead of its UK launch, where it received widespread praise from the motoring press. It was also named Light Commercial Vehicle of the Year and Pick-up of the Year at the 2015 What Van? Awards.
Inheriting the DNA of its predecessors and taking the pick-up concept even further, it’s an entirely new vehicle from the ground up, with significant improvements in 330 areas. The Series 5 is more fuel-efficient than before, with a combined 42.9mpg, and emits just 169g/km of CO2. It has a turning radius of 5.9m and can carry and tow a combined 4.1 tonnes, outshining similar vehicles from other manufacturers.
Anyone buying a new Mitsubishi vehicle can also relax in the knowledge that it comes with a fully comprehensive five-year warranty package, showing just how much confidence Mitsubishi has in the unrivalled quality and reliability of its vehicles.
