We made the Clunker list

[rickshaw]

We are on the Cash for Clunker List.

The CAR Allowance Rebate System (CARS) is a $1 billion government program that helps consumers buy or lease a more environmentally-friendly vehicle. Consumers will be able to take advantage of this program and receive a $3,500 or $4,500 discount from the car dealer when they trade in their old vehicle and purchase or lease a new one.

The List

[JAMAS]

Apparently not us '99s. We are MUCH more environmentally friendly.

[blacksambo]

'99's are 10 years old and beyond the value book rating system, and now fall into cars of particular interest and will begin to appreciate due to collector car status.

LOL - I don't think you're an idiot btw - I totally hope you're right!

[VX crazy]

does it have to be driveable? or with engine?

[iamironman]

Yes... the rules say you have to be able to drive it into the dealership, and you have to have owned it for 1 year to avoid fraud.

[handeeman]

Yes... the rules say you have to be able to drive it into the dealership, and you have to have owned it for 1 year to avoid fraud.

And You have to prove you have had it insured for the past year. registered in your name.

[circmand]

If 10 years is too old why do they have older Jags and other cars?

[Hotsauce]

This in addition to or instead of the book value trade in we'd normaly get?

[circmand]

the 2500 to 4500 is totak you can expect to receive. The vehicles are to be taken out of circulation so there is no trade in value since they cannot resell.

[rowhard]

so would my 89 F150 trash hauler qualify? It looks like $%!^ and runs worst?

[iamironman]

And You have to prove you have had it insured for the past year. registered in your name.

Oh, one more thing... you can't owe anything on it either.. the title has to be free and clear. No scams of sticking it to the banks, title loan company's (which are scams unto themselves anyways.. and I do see a way around this to screw a title loan co out of their 288% interest... )

If you could get more than $4500 (max on this program) why wouldn't you? That would keep free the funds for people that don't have a car/truck worth more than $4500.

[don moore]

it has to be own by the person trading it in for atleast 1 year and to be insured for that year ...and after the deal it must become scrap.. and sent for scraping//and not to be on the road again.
