Nissan has urged car buyers to do their bit for the automotive manufacturing sector in the UK.

The group said motorists could help struggling companies through the economic downturn by buying British.

It pointed out its dealers would also be doing their bit by extending the scrappage scheme to people looking to trade in cars aged between eight and ten years old.

Anyone with a model that falls into this category has been offered £2,000 off the price of a new Nissan - providing they opt for one of the firm's British-built models.

Paul Willcox, managing director of Nissan UK, stated: "In extending the £2,000 minimum trade-in against our British-built range to include eight to ten-year-old cars, Nissan has given the UK manufacturing industry a much-needed boost."

To take part in the government scheme, the vehicle participants trade in must have been registered a minimum of a decade ago.

Motorists who take Nissan up on its offer may find they can make even bigger savings by purchasing cheap comprehensive car insurance online.
