Does it have to be a new car for scrappage?

Does it have to be a new car for scrappage? I am buying a 2007 Ford Focus and scrapping a 1999 Mitsubishi Spacestar; am I eligible?

Hi Emer,

Most so-called ‘scrappage’ deals aren’t actually anything to do with scrappage, they’re just trade-in boosters. But yes, they tend to be only available on new cars, not used ones. Have a chat with your dealer and see what you can work out with them though.
