Re: Might be trading in my Eclipse on the Cash for Clunkers program

F-ing do it. That car is no where near worth the $4500 trade in. I am not sure that your car will qualify however. The salesman is most likely going to sell you on a car, put in the voucher request and be denied.

Looking at cars.com, a 95 eclipse mpg is: City: 21 – 22 Highway: 27 – 32.

They don't differentiate between the turbo or AWD but the combined MPG is likely over the 18 mark. No real way to prove that it only gets XXmpg now.

I am considering it but I have the perfect vehicle for it: 88 Ford F150. Will have no issue at all qualifying. Only issue is that I already have a commuter which gets 58mpg (honda insight). Considering selling many cars and getting a new civic.

Regarding the environmental issue, that is one of the reasons they implimented the program. Want to get rid of poor emmision and MPG vehicles and try and help the economy by boosting auto sales. It is expected that they may run out of funding so if he doesn't, someone else will.
