GATES MAZDA BOOSTS SCRAPPAGE SCHEME
WITH LOW COST FINANCE OFFERS
Gates Mazda is retaining its popular range of hugely competitive low finance deals for
motorists looking to take advantage of the new scrappage scheme. While many
manufacturers have withdrawn their most competitive rates, Gates Mazda is keeping its
collection of 0 per cent* finance deals – meaning even more added value for Bishops
Stortford motorists changing their ‘old’ model for a new Mazda.
The scrappage scheme starts on 18 May and will run until 28 February 2010 or until the
£300 million Government funding has been used. Under the terms of the programme, a
£2,000 discount against the purchase price of a new Mazda can be obtained – £1,000 each
from the Government and Mazda – when the owner scraps a vehicle over 10 years old.
“Our collection of low finance deals brings a new Mazda within reach for an increasing
number of motorists,” highlights Adrian Barnes, dealer principal at Gates Mazda. “It’s about
the affordability of the monthly payments and our low finance rates make it possible for our
customers to purchase a new Mazda.”
“Our vehicles have an enviable reputation for reliability and low operating costs and with the
assistance of the scrappage scheme and the availability of low cost finance, we are giving
consumers even more reasons to buy a Mazda.”
With a full suite of finance offers in place it means that 0 per cent funding options are
available on a number of models including Mazda2 and the all-new Mazda3, which are
expected to be the most popular for consumers taking advantage of the scrappage scheme.
In addition, both ranges are also available with a 3.9 per cent rate for traditional conditional
sale finance or a PCP, with the scrappage discount acting as a deposit.
But, the entire Mazda model line-up at Gates Mazda’s Stansted Road showroom, which also
includes Mazda5, Mazda6, MX-5, RX-8 and BT-50, is available through the scrappage
scheme and with a number of different finance offers.
2. Mazda UK sales and marketing director Mark Cameron adds: “Unlike some of our
competitors we have not reduced the strength of our current retail finance offers for non-
scrappage scheme customers. So whether looking to buy a new Mazda inside or outside of
the new scrappage programme, Mazda is making the opportunity to buy a new car as
attractive as possible.”
To find out more about how to take advantage of the scrappage scheme or to arrange a
Mazda test-drive, please call Gates Mazda on 01279 715300 or visit the showroom at
