CASH FOR CLUNKERS

The Story
The Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS) commonly known as "Cash for Clunkers" bill was signed into law June 24, 2009. The bill authorizes a billion dollars in government funding to provide vouchers worth $3500-$4500 when you trade in an eligible vehicle and buy a new one. Information on how the vouchers will be processed and other important details will be available from the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration later in July. The NHTSA is charged by Congress with developing and overseeing the CARS program. Until that time it will not be possible for a dealer to sell a vehicle under this program.

I was enjoying comparing my 02 ford explorer to a prius. Apparantly my SUV is not too good for this earth.

My brother will likely use an old pickup we have to get a new car within the next year. Looks like he would be able to get $4500 for the pickup worth around $800. Not a bad deal.

Better not wait to long, the C.A.R.S. Deal only runs through Nov 1 or when the funds are exhausted, which ever comes first.

Yet another waste of taxpayer dollars.

It causes more damage to the earth to make a new vehicle rather than keep an older or existing car maintained and running good.

I find it ironic that you chose a Prius for a comparison of what has more environmental impact.

Great article CVD! People are too blind to look past the gas mileage numbers (they aren't even that great) and see the true environmental impact.
