Scrap Car Schemes Cement Asian Manufacturers in Britain
Asian manufacturers have cashed in on the rising popularity of scrap car culture in Britain with sales of South Korean vehicles all up by more than 50%.
Figures released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) have revealed that sales in Hyundai is up by more than 200% on sales before the scrappage scheme. Kia’s have risen by more then 60% also, making Asian manufacturers the biggest selling in the UK.
British manufacturers such as Mini, Jaguar and Land Rover have seen less success as a result of the scheme with down by 12%, 31% and 10% respectively.
Since the end of the scheme scrapping cars has become a popular way of getting rid of old vehicles that are not fit for the road and also to raise money to buy a new one.
Online services such as scrap car work with a network of accredited breakers and scrap yards to dispose of your vehicle quickly and easily. Working with accredited firms means we can guarantee that your vehicle will be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
A simple search on Google will bring up a huge selection of firms willing to give you money for your vehicle, but many will not offer free vehicle collection as well as a cash payment. Once your vehicle has been scrapped you can also claim back any unused tax by downloading a V14 form directly from the DVLA site. However make sure that you all the appropriate documentation, such as ELV certification when applying for this.
