Get the word out and try to fight this so the locals do not trash these trustworthy vehicles.

SEMA has done their best to fight it but the powers that be decided it is better to get these "old polluting clunkers" off the road... the WORST part of it is that the vehicle are REQUIRED to be destroyed.

* Your vehicle must be less than 25 years old on the trade-in date
* Only purchase or lease of new vehicles qualify
* Generally, trade-in vehicles must get 18 or less MPG (some very large pick-up trucks and cargo vans have different requirements)
* Trade-in vehicles must be registered and insured continuously for the full year preceding the trade-in
* You don't need a voucher, dealers will apply a credit at purchase
* Program runs through Nov 1, 2009 or when the funds are exhausted, whichever comes first.
* The vehicle that you are trading in is required to be destroyed. Therefore, the value you negotiate with the dealer for your trade in is not likely to exceed its scrap value. The law requires the dealer to disclose to you and estimate of the scrap value of your trade-in vehicle.

June 25, 2009 - President Obama has signed the Cash for Clunkers Bill, now called “CARS” . NHTSA should have program up and running Late July.

June 23, 2009 - The NHTSA has updated their CARS website (http://cars.gov), the only Federal website for the cash voucher program. The latest information on the website indicates that the program implementation will be completed in Late July. The exact wording from the Cars.gov website advises consumers “You may want to contact your local dealer in mid-July.” This is in slight conflict with the wording of the bill that says cars purchased from July 1, 2009 – November 1, 2009 will qualify.

Consumers should be able to start purchasing cars by Late July.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) will be administering the program and has started to formulate how car dealers will register and get paid.
