Cash for Clunkers from Chrysler

July 22nd, 2009

President Barack Obama’s “cash-for-clunkers” program expected to begin July 24 with the purpose of jump starting car sales. The initiative gives consumers a $3,500 or $4,500 credit at an auto dealership toward the purchase of a new vehicle when they turn in a low-gas mileage vehicle to be scrapped. The program is intended to replace older cars and trucks with newer, greener models, and the trade-in vehicle has to meet minimum requirements, including not being more than 25 years old and its replacement can’t cost more than $45,000.

Chrysler has set up a website to help you sign up for the program. At http://www.cashforclunkersfacts.com/qualifying-cars/chrysler-dealers

You can complete a form and they will connect you with a Participating Chrysler Dealer who can help you once the bill is passed into law. There is also a list of Chrysler dealers who have committed to deliver an accurate quote based on the current vehicle and the new car that you select.
