Cash 4 Clunkers + EPA games = HILLARITY
 

Older Saab 900s are tight. They could prolly sell that thing for 4500 in that condition.

can i buy a $500 hooptie and "trade" it in, or is there a length of ownership involved?

Probably...but it will the last time the car or it's engine sees the road.


Engines are to be permanently disabled on all turn ins

"Trade-in vehicles must be registered and insured continuously for the full year preceding the trade-in "

The way this program works they get whatever the trade in value is (in your opinion ~4500, I think you are way high) plus an additional 3500-4500 from the government.

I believe the vehicle also has to be paid off.

Humm...my 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport with 143k miles may be a candidate for this.

I have a Wrangler that Id consider trading in but the program ends in November and Ill probably be buying a car sometime after that.

lotta "decent" cars getting destroyed cuz of this vs the junkers

I wasn't planning to do anything before then either and didn't realize it ended in November...it pays to read I guess. :lol:

My Jeep has been running fine and the 4x4 works great and it has cold A/C but yesterday I heard a clunk and the CEL came on...uh oh...so my plan may be altered. :lol
