Tell us about your 'Cash for Clunkers' experience.
We traded in our clunker- '93 Jaguar XJ6 avg- 18 mpg (with multiple problems) in for a '09 Hyundai Elantra avg-28 mpg. The Elantra is a decent car for the money. We also traded an F-150 for a new F-150. The Ford dealer had a good point. "If the gov't had let the dealers/manufacturers know the program was coming, they wouldn't have been caught with low inventory." This is interesting because the lobbyists for car collectors knew about the program and asked for the cut off to be cars newer than 1984.

Cars Allowance Rebate System C.A.R.S
If you are looking to buy a more fuel efficient car, here is your chance.
Cars or trucks that meet the criteria qualify for $3500 or $4500 discount when you trade in your clunker that gets 18 or less MPGs. This offer can also be combined with other state/federal offers (ie: $1300 tax incentive on fuel efficient cars -Jetta TDI, Prius, Insight etc.)
