Taxi drivers should take advantage of the scrappage scheme before it ends

(30/09/2009)

LTI Vehicles is urging taxi drivers to take advantage of the Government’s scrappage scheme, which has recently been extended. The scheme gives drivers £2,000 incentive towards a new vehicle if they scrap a vehicle over 10 years old as part of the deal.

The Department for Business announces that over 200,000 vehicles have been sold under the scheme. Over two-thirds of the £300 million budget initially set aside for the scheme has already gone.

Rob Laidler, Sales Director at LTI Vehicles, said: “The scrappage scheme has been a real success for LTI and the taxi trade with many drivers taking advantage of the £2000 incentive. We are advising drivers looking to participate in the Scrappage Scheme to take advantage of this deal and purchase a new TX4 before the funding runs out.”

It is the best time to purchase a new TX4 with a £2000 scrappage incentive, strong offers from LTI and 15% VAT until 1 January 2010.
