Cash For Clunkers Overview

Lawmakers are proposing a ?cash-for-clunkers? bill that would give consumers up to $4,500 to purchase a new fuel efficient car.  Since there are a few versions being pushed around Washington, specific details will not be worth discussing until we see which measure gets the most forward momentum in the coming weeks.  Keep posted by signing up for our email alerts.

According to one version, consumers would have to trade in cars and trucks for a new fuel-efficient vehicle that delivers additional fuel savings of between 2 and 10 miles per gallon, depending on the type of vehicle purchased.  According to a recent Edmunds.com article this table will aide consumers in knowing what cars would qualify for the program.
