What cars can you scrap for £2,000?
Millions of motorists could get £2,000 off a new car under the government's new scrappage scheme.
We look at which cars could be eligible now that the scheme has been given the green light.
How will it work?
Any car or van which is more than ten years old could be eligible for scrapping – and the owner will receive £1,000 from the Government and £1,000 from the manufacturer towards the cost of their new vehicle.
The scheme will run from May 18, 2009 to March 31, 2010, or whenever 300,000 buyers have used the scheme to scrap their car.
