Britain's best new car deals - updated for 2010

Auto Express Car Reviews

April 2009

Welcome to the January, Feb and March sales! With scrappage finished at the end of February, the car makers are planning for a leaner future that cuts out the bangers-for-cash.

Eye-catching finance deals, free insurance, cut-price servicing and of course plain-dealing discounting are the most common ways the dealers are tempting you through the door, but don’t forget to shop about before you submit yourself to their clutches!

You won’t see the mega deals of a year or two ago now stocks have been slashed right back, but the dealers haven’t entirely lost the discounting knack!

Check the websites of the big dealer groups like Perrys or browse the deal prices of brokers such as Broadspeed, and you’ll see there’s still room to manoeuvre, especially on bigger cars.

Mr Derek Wormald

Great scheme, but when you look on line at car deals ect, it seams to think that we all have an old car for scrappage. I don't!! what about showing other good deals??

Don't be fooled

Most of the manufacters put up their prices by £2000 since the scrappage scheme started - so they were not really giving you £2000 off the price of a new car.
The whole thing is a big con.
They can well afford to give you a big discount.

Skoda - Deal or NO Deal

I've recently tried to get a 'good' deal with my local Skoda dealer as I'm due to exchange my car on an option scheme and they are offering NOTHING, in fact they are using the so called Credit Crunch as an excuse to make me feel pity for them as they are so hard done by!!! "we all have to sacrifice a little to get what we both want"

Manufacturers Offers

Why are close to all manufacturers still offering only a 3 year warranty on cars....If they are that good then offer 5 years...that would tempt me more than most of these other offers.

Agree with "Don't be fooled" prices for vehicle went up by sometimes more than the £2k scrappage before it started placing the blame on the value of the £GBP...So negating the scrappage allowance.

Discounts & Scrappage

Volvo are giving, for example, £4805 off a C30 1.6D DRIVe R-design with a scrappage deal. As £1000 of this comes from the Government, should it not be possible to be offered £3805 off without scrappage? The scrappage car is supposed to be scrapped - it is not a trade-in car that can be sold on thus recouping some of the discount. Or am I being naive and missing the point somewhere?
