Turn in Your Clunker, Get a Chunka Change!

Put your seat belts on for this story: The government is finally helping you get a new car!


Tthe Cash for Clunkers program is on now and the government says the program is multi fold: They say it will crank up the stalling auto industry, and help drivers go farther on a tank of gas. WCAX TV reports that one dealership, business was chugging along. The rebate program allows owners of cars that are newer than 1984 models to trade them in and get up to 45 hundred dollars toward a brand new, more fuel efficient vehicle. New car buyers can get 35 hundred to 45 hundred dollars, depending on how much their fuel efficiency improves with the new vehicle. You can't go out and buy a clunker to cash it in. Your trade has to run, be registered and insured for the past year. has to be less than 25 years old and get less than 18 miles to the gallon. The program is on now and runs through November first..
