Wayzata Nissan

Recently an important new law was passed called the Customer Assistance to Recycle and Save program (or CARS). The Customer Assistance to Recycle and Save program (commonly referred to as Cash for Clunkers, or the Car Allowance Rebate System), which will be available at registered dealers later this summer, will provide U.S. Government vouchers valued up to $4,500 when you trade-in an eligible vehicle and purchase a new one before November 1, 2009 that meets or exceeds specified fuel economy improvement standards.

Due to the limited time and budget specified in the Customer Assistance to Recycle and Save program Wayzata Nissan has started a first to be notified list.

Here are a few examples of the Great Deals you can take advantage of by trading in your CLUNKER. This opportunity will probably never come again, so this is your chance to take advantage of this program.

Visit us with your clunker and receive up to $4500 for your clunker on trade. Don't miss out this is for a limited time only.

Frequently asked Questions

Q: Is the billed signed into law yet?
A: Yes the bill was signed by President Obama. The program is now in the hands of the NHTSA and they will be responsible for implementing the system for car dealers. The program is called CARS and the only official website is: http://cars.gov. Dealers will be responsible for signing up for the program, and participating dealers will eventually be listed on the government website.

Q: Where can I read a copy of the bill?
A: Click here to read PDF: http://www.cashforclunkersfacts.com/CARS-Law.pdf

Q: How do I find the combined EPA mileage estimates on my old clunker?
A: Go to http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/sbs.htm and click on the model year of your vehicle, the make, and then the model. Under the words "ESTIMATED NEW EPA MPG" in the red banner, there is a red number with the word "COMBINED" under it. That is the new combined city/highway fuel economy for your vehicle. You may then enter the make, model, and model year of a new vehicle you may want to buy and see its combined MPG for comparison.

Q: What do I need to bring to the new car dealership when I bring in my trade?
A: You need to bring: title, registration, drivers license & insurance papers showing continuous registration and insurance coverage for the past full year. In any of these are not 100% in compliance, you may not qualify.

Q: Is the value of the voucher tax-free to the consumer?
A: Yes. The credit works like a cash down-payment. It does not lower your tax obligation on the purchase price.

Q: Is there an income limit that disqualifies certain vehicle owners?
A: No.

Q: If dealers are offering cash incentives toward a new car purchase, would that be in addition to this credit?
A: The program credit is independent from manufacturer buying incentives. For example, if a car dealer is offering $3,000 off the list price of a car and you qualified for a $4,500 CARS credit from your trade-in, then the total reduction off the MSRP would be $7,500. You should always shop for the best deals before buying a car.

Q: I have two old clunkers, can I trade-in both cars for a $9,000 credit toward a new car purchase?
A: The current wording of the bill would seem to indicate that only one CARS credit can be applied to a new car purchase.

Q: Can I go to the junkyard and buy an old car and use it for a trade?
A: The clunker has to be registered and insured for one year continuously in the name of the person buying the new car and must be in drivable condition.

Q: What will happen to the car I trade in?
A: The car will be sent to the salvage yard. Some parts may be kept but the engine and drive train will be crushed.

Q: How long will the program last?
A: Right now the CFC program will most likely run from sometime in July through November 1, 2009

Q: Are there restrictions on the year of my trade-in.
A: The car can not be more than 25 years old.

Q: Why would some trades qualify for $3,500 and other trades get $4,500?
A: The difference in vouchers depends on the improved gas mileage of your new car compared to your trade. For example, if your new car purchase gets 4 mpg more than your trade you get a $3,500 credit. If the new car gets 10 mpg better than your trade you get $4,500 credit.

Q: Can I lease a car or do I have to purchase/finance it?
A: Qualifying leases must be at least 5 years long. You can finance the car under any term you qualify for.

Q: Do you have to have good really good credit? If so, what does your credit score need to be in order to qualify?
A: The CARS program is not linked to any credit approval process. You will have to qualify for a new car purchase based on your personal credit and the bank loan requirements at the dealer you visit. The CARS credit acts like a cash down payment. The rest of the approval process is between you and the new car dealer.
