Helping the car buying public to help
the British car industry, Nissan has extended its buy-British Trade-in offer
for an extra three months.
Originally
available until 30 June, the offer provides a £2,000
minimum trade-in against any of its Sunderland built models for owners of cars
aged between 8-10 years old. Following a significant boost in sales and a
consistently high demand for the deal, Nissan has extended the offer until 30
September 2009.
As
Britain's biggest car maker, Nissan has a diverse range of British built models
to choose from, including any new Micra, Note, Qashqai or Qashqai+2.
With the help of the Trade-in offer, anyone with a car that's 8
years old or older can take delivery of the chic British built Micra for as
little as £5,995.
Nissan's
UK MD, Paul Willcox said, "We're delighted to be able to extend our Trade-in
deal for an additional three months - and delighted the car buying public is
taking advantage of the Nissan offer.
"Our
£2,000
minimum Trade-in provides what the Government's Scrappage scheme fell short of
offering: a real incentive to buy a British built car and a guaranteed trade-in
value for owners of eight, nine and ten year old cars."
With
both the Trade-in offer and the Scrappage scheme in place, Nissan has seen a
substantial increase in demand. Orders taken as a result of the schemes total
more than 5,000,
while the Qashqai was the ninth best selling car in the UK in May. By extending
the Trade-in offer, Nissan hopes to further increase market share while also
giving a valuable boost to the British car industry.
