Cash for Clunkers

Congress has passed legislation that would give car buyers a $3,500 or $4,500 voucher for trading in an old, inefficient vehicle for a new, more-efficient one between July 1 and November 1, 2009!

Current StatusFriday, June 19, 2009, 1:30 p.m.

The "Cash for Clunkers" legislation has passed the House and Senate and is waiting to be signed into law by the President.

Does My Clunker Qualify?

To qualify, your trade-in vehicle must:
Be in driveable condition
Have been continuously insured consistent with State laws and registered to you for at least one year immediately prior to trade-in
Be manufactured less than 25 years before the date of the trade-in
Have a combined MPG of 18 or less (this does not apply to category 3 trucks---defined below)
MPG requirements for 1985 model year vehicles and newer are based on the Combined "New EPA MPG"

How Much Cash Can I Get?

The incentive amount depends upon the kind of vehicle you want to purchase, its MPG relative to your trade-in vehicle, and in some cases, the kind of vehicle you are trading in.
In addition to the above requirements, the purchased vehicle must:
Be new (i.e., legal title has not been transferred to anyone)
Have a manufacturer's suggested retail price is $45,000 or less

Hyundai owners placed the Genesis and Sonata at the top of their classes in AutoPacific’s 2009 Vehicle Satisfaction Awards (VSA) research. Both models won in highly competitive segments. Genesis topped the Aspirational Luxury Car category for its affordable operating costs, value and extraordinary warranty. The Sonata was the highest ranked Premium Mid-Size Car, beating out the segment-defining Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. In addition, Hyundai’s overall brand satisfaction rating among Hyundai purchasers jumped 11 positions earning Hyundai 2009 Rising Star honors. This positive move was more than any other manufacturer in the survey. Hyundai scored higher in 40 of 48 rating categories in 2009 compared with 2008.
“Having conducted this industry research since 1997, we see vehicles that score highest in AutoPacific’s Vehicle Satisfaction Awards have hit the mark delivering value and satisfaction with their buyers,” said George Peterson, president of AutoPacific. “This year’s results made it clear that Hyundai owners are extremely pleased with their new cars.”
