C.A.R.S.-Formerly-cash-for-clunkers-ky



Update June 29 2:59 P.M. E.S.T.
The Swope Family of Dealerships has been closely watching the development of C.A.R.S.,  formerly known as Cash For Clunkers.
In other posts, we have detailed key points on C.A.R.S. and included a link to the NHTSA website with official information as it becomes available.
The Swope Family of Dealerships is also concerned about "Rogue Sites" that have been touting "official status" or sites that ask for personal information such as social security numbers. The Goverment has even mentioned their concern as reported by the Associated Press that you can find here: CASH FOR CLUNKERS SCAMS - If you would like more information on this program, we would be happy to point you in the right direction; feel free to contact us Toll Free at 1-800-999-7591.

Update June 23 3:25 P.M. E.S.T.
Cash For Clunkers renamed to C.A.R.S. according to the new NHTSA website.
Looks like they have moved the date from the first of July to the end of July.

Five Key Points to Remember
  1. Your vehicle must be less than 25 years old on the trade-in date (Sorry Mr. Swope your 300K doesn't qualify)
  2. Only purchase or lease of new vehicles qualify, no used vehicles qualify.
  3. For the most part, trade-in vehicles must get 18 or less MPG (some very large pick-up trucks and cargo vans have different requirements)
  4. Trade-in vehicles must be registered and insured continuously for the full year preceding the trade-in (you can't buy a Junker and trade it in)
  5. You don't need a voucher, dealers will apply a credit at purchase (Swope Family of Dealerships will be participating)

Cash For Clunkers KY  Update June 19 1:32 P.M.  E.S.T.

Swope Family of Dealerships is participating in the US Government's Cash for Clunkers Bill.   At this time we are still waiting for President Obama to sign the bill after surviving an attempt by Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H. to strip it from a war-spending bill, the Cash for Clunkers program passed the Senate yesterday evening. Now the bill makes its way to President Obama, who is expected to sign the bill into law as reported by Autoblog.
This is very exciting news considering the recent tough times in the Auto industry and we are very excited about the potential of this Bill. The Bill will do more then just provide a great incentive to purchase a new fuel efficient Toyota, Nissan, Dodge, Ford or Hyundai but will also help lower the demand for overseas oil. For a complete summary of information on the current Bill as it sits use the links above or visit fueleconomy.gov
