Vauxhall's New Swap & Save CAN’T SCRAP IT? SWAP IT AND BAG £3K OFF A NEW VAUXHALL! ·
. All-new offer overtakes Government’s scrappage with even more discount
· Any car over 7 years old eligible – no upper age limit
· Applies to some of Vauxhall’s newest models The Government’s ‘scrappage’ scheme has now run its course, but today Vauxhall is set to offer customers an even more generous package, available on six of its most popular ranges.
Vauxhall Swappage moves the game on still further from the Government-backed scrappage scheme, with at least £3,000 off all new Astra’s, Astra Sport Hatches, Meriva’s, Zafira’s, Insignia’s and most new Corsa models, in exchange for any roadworthy car they own which is at least seven years old. But unlike some rival manufacturers, Vauxhall is imposing no upper age limit on the car customers trade in. Better still, unlike the old scrappage scheme, even buyers who have a ten year old car (or older) to swap only need to have owned it for 90 days – and dealers will also allow a husband/wife to trade in their partner’s car, as long as they live at the same address. That means that any seven-year-old UK –registered car with insurance, road tax and MOT – no matter what its value or condition – can be used as currency to reduce the cost of the 2010 recently-launched Astra 5-dr to as little as £12,895 for the Exclusiv 1.4i 87PS model. Even bigger savings can be made by swapping your old car for the latest Astra Sport Hatch Sport 1.4i 16v, with cruise control, lowered sports suspension and air conditioning. Swappage brings the cost of this model down by a remarkable £4,885 to just £11,995. “We’re determined that our customers will continue to enjoy excellent offers now the Government’s scrappage scheme has come to an end,” said Bob Hall, Magnus Vauxhall’s General Manager. “Vauxhall Swappage not only increases the amount of discount off selected Vauxhalls from £2,000 to at least £3,000, but it also widens the net to cars over seven years old, compared with ten years plus in the old, Government-backed scheme.” Vauxhall Swappage is available on all Corsa, Meriva, Zafira, Insignia, new Astra and Astra Sport Hatch models ordered or registered between April 1 and June 30, 2010 at Magnus Vauxhall, and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offers.
