HYBRIDS AVAILABLE under the scrappage scheme include those from Toyota, Honda and Lexus.
In the case of the Toyota Prius, the total VRT is €3,700, but with the allowance of €2,500 given to hybrids off the VRT, this drops to €1,200. As this is all that remains in terms of VRT on the Prius, this is its scrappage allowance under the scheme. This means the price the Prius drops by €1,200 to €24,795 under the scheme.
The same is true of the Honda Civic Hybrid and the Insight. The remaining VRT is €913 in the case of the Civic Hybrid, €719 in the case of the Insight SE and €848 in the case of the Insight ES. This will reduce the price of these cars to €21,659 for the Insight and €22,962 for the Civic Hybrid.
Also qualifying is the Lexus RX Hybrid, which starts from €54,000 under the scheme, a reduction of €1,500.
