The official rules for the “Cash for Clunkers” aka C.A.R.S. program come out within days and it’s about time! Since the program was first announced months ago many consumers have been waiting hoping that their old ‘clunker’ will be worth $4500 towards that new car they have been dreaming about.
The rules can get a little tricky… especially if you want to trade in a truck on a new truck, but dealerships can help you determine whether or not your ‘clunker’ will qualify and on what vehicles you get the most money.
Ford has even set up a great user friendly site that will show you how much money you can get depending on what you want to buy! Check out www.letfordrecycleyourride.com for more details. But let me warn you up front… be as accurate as you can on you car, because just 1 mpg can decide whether you get $4500 or $0!! If you aren’t sure of what to do, contact the dealership and let us do the research for you.
So if you are still driving around that 1987 Supra and have been debating about whether or not it is time to get a new car… don’t wait!! The funds for this program will run out and so will qualified dealership inventory, so don’t delay in getting all the information you need to make an educated decision and hopefully get an awesome down payment on that new car!
