Nissan extends buy British £2K Trade-in deal for extra 3 months

* Trade-in offer extended by 3 months to meet popular demand
* Buy a British built Nissan and get a £2,000 minimum trade-in on an 8-10 year old car until 30th September 2009
* Trade-in offer runs alongside Government's Scrappage Scheme for cars over 10 years old*
* Success of both schemes has already resulted in around 3,000 orders for new Micra

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 30th 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 30th 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 comments: "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."

It's no surprise that 3,000 new Micra buyers have placed orders so far, benefitting from a £2,000 discount as a result of either the Scrappage or Trade-in offers.

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.

*Trade-in vehicles eligible for the Scrappage Scheme must be 10 years old or older and must have been owned by their present keeper for a minimum of 12 months. Vehicles must have a current MOT certificate. Scrappage Scheme terms and conditions apply.

**All scrappage savings shown are based on the manufacturers recommended retail list price.
