What is Scrappage?
The 'scrappage' allowance is a scheme run in the UK that lets owners of old cars get a financial bonus towards buying a new car. The scrapage scheme offers you up to £2000 when you trade in your old car, providing it meets certain rules. £1000 of this money is from the UK government, the other £1000 comes from the car dealers themselves. It's a great deal, and only runs for a year until March 2010!

The scrappage rules are pretty simple, so make sure your car or van meets them before you try and find a cool scrappage deal to save you lots of money, as the car dealer will just turn you away (or sell you a car at full price if you want).
The main rules are as follows:
> Your car must have a current MOT certificate - ie, it can't have been sitting unused in a garage for years
> The car must have been registered in the UK before 31 July1999, and currently be registered to a UK address
> The car must have been continuously registered to you for a full year before you trade it in. So no buying an old car just to trade in... sorry!
> The car or van to trade in, and that you buy, must be no more than 3,500 kg
> The vehicle you buy must be brand new when you buy it
As well as this you need to make sure that the car dealer you go to offers the DVLA scrappage scheme, as otherwise you won't be able to get all that lovely money off!
