Just a couple of quick questions in regards to the above if anybody in the know could help it'd be great :)

Around May next year I'll be looking to purchase a new car, highly likely a Clio 200.

At current its advertised at just short of £17k with Renault and Perrys have it for just under £14k. (I'm aware that the price may well have changed by then & this includes the discount from the scrappage scheme). Quite a saving of about £800 if you were to deduct scrappage from the Renault price.

Could somebody explain how this is possible? How Perry's are able to sell this car cheaper? Also are there any pros & cons to buying from somewhere like this over a Renault dealer?

In regards to the scrapage scheme providing it is still running in February is the 28th the last day to purchase using the scrappage scheme? I'm aware the car needs to be registered within 4 months or something?

I'll be at Uni until mid/end of May so won't be needing the car until then and at current it has a 8-12 week delivery period. So purchasing and trading my car in for scrap in February would give an estimate delivery date of about May time.

Basically the sales rep at the nearest Renault garage to me said that he thinks the last oppurtunity to use it will be the end of October ( I don't think that makes sense) He's going to look into it and call me back. He doesn't sound particulary bright.

Thats all for now.

Thanks in advance.

Why are you worrying about a car you might be buying in 10 months time?

There are car deals around all the time, the salesman will always tell you its an unmissable opportunity
 
You trade in when its delivered not when its ordered. 'Scrappage' (What a pathetic term, it isnt even a word, why did they pick that?) won't still be running in May of next year.

I'm fairly sure you can as the sales rep didn't say otherwise... I'm still tempted by a 182 cup, which would save a lot of money. Have to see whats available nearer the time and how my finances look.
 
I think what the sales rep was trying to say is that the big pot of money the government has set aside for the scheme will soon run out due to the high demand. So in other words, the scheme wont last for a year, the money is due to run out in a couple of months maximum.
 
Because it is up to the manufacturer to decide if they want to offer it.

Manufacturers like Renault, under considerable pressure from government, would rather offer it on higher volume cars and keep a higher percentage of workforce employed.
