Cash for Clunkers Southern California

July 24, 2009 - PRLog -- Last month President Obama signed the “Cash for Clunkers” bill.  Designed to reduce the number of fuel hogs still on the road and infuse the cash flow of dealerships across the nation, this bill is being widely embraced by manufacturers and consumers alike. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has labeled the program the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS) and has posted informative program details on their site: cars.gov

The ”Clunkers” bill allows for vehicles with 18 MPG or less and under 25 years old to be traded in toward the purchase of  new, more fuel efficient, vehicles. The consumer never really sees the “Cash” however financial credits of up to $4500 are issued directly to the dealership by the NHTSA upon purchase approval. In order to qualify, the trade-in vehicles must be in running condition as well as registered and insured for the full year preceding the trade-in.  

Dealerships participating in the program are currently being registered by the NHTSA.  So far, Nissan, GM and Toyota have added information about the “Cash for Clunkers” program  to their corporate websites and have begun promoting the program at the dealership level. The bill became effective on July 1st  making any trade-in purchases made on or after this date eligible for consideration. The official program rollout occurs on July 23rd at which time further information and more regulation details will be issued. The “Cash for Clunkers” program will run through November 1st 2009 or when funds are exhausted, whichever comes first.
