Cash for Clunkers Vehicles List Compiled by Edmunds
Friday June 12, 2009
Well, by now I’ve made it clear that I am against the Cash for Clunkers legislation that is about to be passed in Congress. However, that doesn’t mean I don’t want you to take advantage of this federal handout if you’re eligible.
To make your life easier, the great folks at Edmunds.com have compiled a list of more than 1000 vehicles that qualify for the Cash for Clunkers handout. Here’s a sample of the list below:
Year Model, Combined Mileage, Trade-in
1996 Honda Passport, 15, $1,227
1997 Lincoln Continental, 18, $1,179
1998 Chevrolet Silverado, 14, $3,378
1995 Audi A6, 18, $1,261
1996 Toyota Land Cruiser, 13, $4,042
As a reminder, Edmunds.com says the Cash for Clunkers bill has these components:
It will offer no more than $4,500 to new car buyers.
It will require the trade-in vehicle to be crushed (which means that owners will not collect any trade-in value.)
Cars to be scrapped would have to have EPA combined fuel economy ratings of 18 miles per gallon or less, and the new vehicle purchased must earn better mileage.
The participant must have owned the "clunker" for one year.
