Scrappage is ending ...

SIMI is warning motorists who are considering buying a car under the Scrappage Scheme to order as soon as possible as the scheme ends in just nine weeks' time, writes Trish Whelan.

While the scheme officially ends on 30 June, a dealer may require a number of weeks to order and take delivery of your car. So potential buyers need to shop soon.

So far this year, sales of new cars are up on last year, driven by the Government Scrappage Scheme and the great discounts available. With not long left until the scheme ends, SIMI anticipate a rise in the number of Scrappage enquiries at dealerships in the next few weeks.
