Recycle Your Car!

The "Car Allowance Rebate System" (CARS) was signed into law by President Obama recently. CARS is a government funded program that helps individuals purchase a more fuel efficient vehicle.

First, don't try and trade in your 1960 Edsel, the trade-in must be less than 25-years old (not that anyone would trade-in an Edsel, there were only 2,856 produced that year).

You must also purchase or lease a new vehicle to qualify.

The gas-guzzling trade-in must get 18 MPG or less to qualify.

And, the car must have been registered and insured continuously a full year before the trade-in (so no junk yard trade-ins, I suppose).

Ford recently announced its roll-out of the program.
