Cars Allowance Rebate System C.A.R.S

[idrive]

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.)

there are stipulations however. your "clunker" must get less than18 mpg COMBINED city/hwy according to EPA estimates. and the car must be and have been registered for the past year or more i believe.

so you can't just go buy some piece of junk for $500 and get a voucher for $4500. the good news is, if you qualify, some dealers will match your gov't voucher w/ their rebate. it's likely chevy and chrysler would be the only ones doing that!

Thanks for the details bowtieguy. Sounds like this program is on hold while they catch up with applications.
