[SinglePic not found]An energy bill currently making its way through congress includes a “Cash for Clunkers” program that will essentially pay you up to $4,500 to get a “greener” vehicle.
The way it currently reads is if your new car got 4 to 9 miles per gallon more than the old one, going by EPA ratings at www.fueleconomy.gov, the payment would be $3,500. If the new car got at least 10 mpg more, the vehicle owner would get $4,500. For light trucks, the mileage gain would have to be at least 2 mpg for the $3,500 payment and 5 mpg for the $4,500.
Keep in mind that this is in-addition to the auto tax credit that will allow you to deduct the entire sales tax you pay while purchasing your new vehicle. (There are some limitations – see our previous post by Clicking Here)
As of today – this bill has gained House approval and is waiting approval in the Senate. Keep in mind that by the time approval will come – the entire outline of the proposal may be rewritten, or even dropped completly. I will keep you updated so please check back soon.
Here is an excellent list put together by Cars.com detailing the top sellers for the month of May 2009. Since gas prices had trended lower, the domestic trucks have reclaimed the 2 top spots – but the Camry is approaching fast. The Civic typically outsells the Accord, but lower gas prices have changed that as well.
This list still reminds us that we love our trucks!
1.) Ford F-Series: 33,381
2.) Chevy Silverado: 31,463
3.) Toyota Camry: 31,325
4.) Toyota Corolla: 23,576
5.) Honda Accord: 22,597
6.) Honda Civic: 20,723
7.) Ford Fusion: 19,786
8.) Chevy Impala: 18,709
9.) Nissan Altima: 18,408
10.) Ford Escape: 16,391
