Scrappage Scheme to be extended

The scrappage scheme is to be extended to give a £2,000 incentive towards an 100,000 additional cars and vans.
Business Secretary Lord Mandelson announced the move in his Labour Party Conference speech this afternoon.

Alongside the increased funding the Government will extend eligibility for the scheme to van owners with vehicles over 8 years old rather than the current 10 year requirement.

Car owners will also get a boost, with the age qualification changed by 6 months to extend the benefits to cars registered on or before 29 Feb 2000 (V registration). The scheme will come to an end in February 2010 or when the funding runs out, which ever is sooner.

Viking Team Up With UK Owners Club

Viking are proud to announce that they have teamed up with the UK KIA owners club to offer its members discounts and free advice.

Owners clubs are great places for KIA owners to share there experiences and gain knowledge about the KIA brand. We were particularly impressed by the UK site with its up to date news pages and a good forum site. Forums are always a worry for dealers as there will always be the person who feels they have the worst car in the world, or who feels they are better placed to offer advice than a fully trained technician. The joy with the KIA product is that these people are few and far between and there are always another 10 owners who will jump to the brands defence.

So have a visit of the site it costs nothing to join or you can just browse . we have also listed some of our older stock items on the site at very large discounts.
