List of Late Model Used Cars Qualifying for "Cash for Clunkers"
June 18, 2009
The "Cash for Clunkers" bill passed the House last week with a vote of 298-119 and it looks likely to pass in the Senate this week.
If so, sometime this summer, anyone trading in a used car with a combined EPA rating of 18 mpg or less with a new one getting at least 22 mpg will get a $3,500 voucher towards the purchase of the new car. Truck buyers who get more than a 4 mpg difference are eligible for a $4,500 voucher.
Here is a list of late-model used cars worth less than $3,500 AND would qualify for the voucher:
