A brand new car from SG Petch becomes incredibly affordable when you scrap your car with the Government Scrappage Incentive.
You may have come across car dealers offering car salvage and car replacement schemes. But if your car is more than 10 years old and you’ve had it for more than 12 months, it’s well worth changing it for a new one – unless of course it’s a classic or holds great sentimental value.
This is because until March 2010, the Government and the vast majority of our car manufacturers are offering drivers £2,000 or more to change their older, more polluting vehicles for a new ‘green’ car. So your current car may be worth a lot more than you thought.
The Vehicle Discount Scheme is due for introduction mid May and will run till March 2010. As this scheme will be for a limited time registering your details now will help you secure your discount.
Reasons to scrap a car for a new one
1. No worries about unexpected repairs
From a minimum of 3 years warranty – up to a staggering 7 years for the Kia Cee’d and Sportage models – SG Petch's portfolio of car manufacturers is equally impressive. With 11 franchises we are bound to have a car to suit your needs.
2. Reduce your running costs
New cars, on average, are more economical than old ones. And, if you choose one of our low emission range, you will save every year. Some of our cars like the Ibiza Ecomotive emits a miserly 98 g/km of CO2 placing it in Band A and therefor exempt from road tax. We also have a large selection of vehicles from £35 per year road tax and fall into the low group 2 insurance bracket.
3. Enjoy the drive, more safely
Buy a new car and you don’t just get exceptional quality and value for money – driver and passenger airbags, side impact protection and ABS brakes come as standard on all of our new car range.
4. It couldn't be simpler!
Any one of our branches will arrange everything for you. Contact your local dealership and they will be happy to do the rest.
