Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge car dealers in Orange County are capitalizing on the the savings opportunity of the U.S. Government’s Car Allowance Rebate Systems (CARS), more commonly known as “Cash for Clunkers,” by offering up to $4,500 off an eligible new car purchase whether or not customers bring in qualifying “clunkers.”
“The ‘Cash for Clunkers’ program is a great way to get old, gas-guzzling vehicles off the road,” said Jon Gray, president, Orange Coast Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge in Costa Mesa, Calif. “We found a way to make it better by offering the same savings even if a trade-in doesn’t meet the official ‘clunker’ definition.
“If the trade-in is a qualifying ‘clunker,’ then we will add to the government’s rebate for a total savings up to $9,000,” said Rick Evans, president, Huntington Beach Chrysler/Jeep. “We call it ‘Double Ca$h for Your Old Car.’ Being in the car business all my life, I have never seen an offer this good - $9,000 off a new car, you just can’t beat that!” adds Gray.
The Administration established the CARS program to help consumers replace older, gas guzzling vehicles with new, more fuel-efficient vehicles and to help stimulate the national economy.
The government credit is $3,500 or $4,500 depending on the amount of fuel economy improvement between the old and new vehicle.
