The UK government scrappage scheme has provided a welcome boost for car sales across the country as drivers benefit the £2000 part exchange value for their 10-year old (or over) car.
The increase in sales has been dramatic, with sales of new cars up by around 11% over the same time period in 2008. Recognising the success of the scheme, the government has recently announced its extension, providing funds to cover an extra 100,000 vehicles.
This scheme is proving to be one of the most successful subsidies in the car industry in recent years. It seems that both sellers and buyers are in a winning position. The car manufacturers claim the boost in sales has safeguarded jobs and the car buyers benefit from a £2000 part exchange value that without the subsidy they would never have achieved.
According to WhatCar? Vauxhall has been one of the real winners of this scheme and is the only manufacturer to have two models in the top ten best sellers list for September 2009. The Vauxhall Cosra is number two in the list with sales of 16,379. The Vauxhall Astra is two places behind in fourth place with September sales recorded at 13,190 cars.
The sales figures will be welcome news to the workers at the two UK Vauxhall plants in Ellesmere Port and Luton, although the future of both sites remains uncertain following the take over by Canadian parts manufacturer Magna from US car giant GM.
The UK scrappage scheme funding is available when trading in any 10 year old or over used car as part exchange for a new car. It is not limited to Vauxhall. The scheme will not be available forever so to take advantage of it you need to act quickly.

The new, updated Vauxhall Astra will be launched at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor show and images released by the manufacturer already have fans of the car drooling. After its initial debut at the Motor Show the Astra will be on general UK sale towards the end of the year.
One of the main selling points of the new Astra will be its increased cabin space. This mid-sized family car is often expected to carry up to five passengers in the average household so space is generally very important to buyers. The space within the body of the Astra has been increased and will deliver higher levels of comfort and space for both the driver and any front and back seat passengers.
The cabin of the Astra has also been given a more “premium” feel. Vauxhall have recognised that buyers are searching for value but also quality. The interior of the new Vauxhall Astra has elements of the Insignia and the wrap around instrument panel is particularly striking and well laid out. Vauxhall are aiming to raise the bar in the compact car class and early photos and press releases suggest they might just achieve this.
The popular outgoing Astra is still on sale, with prices starting from around £15,000 OTR. As with many new cars when a new model is set to be released dealers are keen to shift their existing stock, so shop around and haggle. You may grab yourself a real bargain. The current Astra is an impressive and successful car in its own right. It is available with a choice of engines in both petrol and diesel and boasts a five star NCAP crash test rating, so safety standards are high.
Vauxhall currently have a variety of deals in place for the Astra and all other models in their range. A popular deal available on the Astra currently is a zero percentage finance offer. The Government scrappage scheme could also save you a further £2000 if you have a car over 10 years old that you are willing to trade in against a new car.
