Shortly after the UK Government?s vehicle scrappage scheme went in to operation1, Mitsubishi Motors in the UK has extended its participation to include vehicles of 5 through to 10 years old to maximise its already impressive success with the scheme.

Mitsubishi Motors? UK Director of Sales and Marketing, Toby Marshall said, ?we have had immediate and resounding success with the Government?s scrappage scheme, with over 21% of our dealers? May orders coming through the scheme. To help maximise on this momentum, we have decided to launch our own scheme, which means a customer can bring in a car as young as 5 years old to any participating Mitsubishi dealer.?

Furthermore, Mitsubishi has secured ?100 million through its finance arm, Finance Mitsubishi, to help get customers into the car of their dreams ? with or without the help of the Government?s ?scrappage? allowance.
