BMW puts weight behind new scrappage incentive
23/04/2009
Following yesterday’s Budget announcement about the government’s scrappage scheme, BMW UK has today confirmed that it will participate in the programme. The government’s £1,000 contribution will be matched by BMW to make a total saving of £2,000 off a new BMW or MINI.
To see how the new scrappage incentive will affect new car buyers, the example below outlines the financial savings that are possible. Now a customer will be able to get behind the wheel of a new BMW 116i Sport for just £242 a month, with zero deposit. With the government scrappage payment, the matching BMW offer and an additional dealer contribution the total discount available on this model equates to £3,260. The BMW 116i has class-leading economy and low CO2 emissions and, like all other EfficientDynamic-equipped BMWs, makes excellent financial sense too. A zero to 62mph time of 9.8 seconds and output of 122hp results in a car that is also fun to drive.
Model / 40 monthly payments / On-the-road cash price / Customer deposit / Government scrappage payment / BMW scrappage payment / Additional dealer contribution
BMW 116i Sport 3-door / £242 / £17,220 / £0 / £1,000 / £1,000 / £1,260
Note: Above quote is based on a typical 7.8 per cent APR, the amount of credit offered is £13,960, first monthly payment would be £416, optional final payment would be £6,574 and the total amount payable £16,670. The contract mileage is 35,000 miles with excess mileage charged at 4.5p per mile.
BMW has a long established recycling network to ensure that scrapped cars are handled responsibly. The Authorised Treatment Facilities, operated by ‘Autogreen’, will ensure that these vehicles will be treated and recycled correctly.
