Cash for Clunkers

Click here to see if your vehicle qualifies.

This is a government program that helps you purchase a new, more fuel efficient vehicle when you trade in a less fuel efficient vehicle.

Congress has passed legislation that would give car buyers a $3,500 or $4,500 voucher for trading in an used, inefficient vehicle for a new, more-efficient one.

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

MPG requirements for 1985 model year vehicles and newer are based on the Combined "New EPA MPG".
