Anyone Use The CARS Program?
unfortunately, I have a clunker in the front of my house which is my dad's and it does not qualify. Cars that are traded in must be less than 25 years old, and the production date of his 1984 SEC500 is january, which is over the age limit by 6 months. sucks.
he was looking at the volkswagon rabbit to replace it.

I was thinking about going there to see if my GS4 would qualify for trade to an IS250... No way in HELL am I going to check that site now!!!

That didn't look like the cars.gov website, so it looks like it might be a dealer version before the car is being traded

Your GS4 isnt worth more than $3,500-4,500? I would think it is unless its like extremely beat or something. What year is it?

Hmm...a dealer I went to said the car doesn't have to be running and they will tow it there if they have to. A different dealer said it had to be in driving conditions which the site clearly states.
I really don't see why it has to be in running conditions because they're not allowed to sell the motor or drive train.
They will sell other parts from the car and then dispose the rest of it.

One of my coworkers traded in a 2000 Mercury Villager that by his estimate was worth $200 at best (huge rust problem, poor running, previous rat infestation) for a 2009 Highlander 4-banger and got the full $4500.

you don't have to use your own computer, you can let the dealership run it. Plus this is FOX NEWS... they hate anything that has to do w/ Obama...
