woops your misreading.

* Your vehicle must be less than 25 years old on the trade-in date
* Only purchase or lease of new vehicles qualify
* Generally, trade-in vehicles must get 18 or less MPG (some very large pick-up trucks and cargo vans have different requirements)
* Trade-in vehicles must be registered and insured continuously for the full year preceding the trade-in
* You don't need a voucher, dealers will apply a credit at purchase
* Program runs through Nov 1, 2009 or when the funds are exhausted, whichever comes first.
* The vehicle that you are trading in is required to be destroyed. Therefore, the value you negotiate with the dealer for your trade in is not likely to exceed its scrap value. The law requires the dealer to disclose to you and estimate of the scrap value of your trade-in vehicle.

The Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS) signed into law last month is designed to help car makers and the environment by providing vouchers of $3,500 to $4,500 toward the purchase of a new vehicle in exchange for a gas-guzzling clunker. The program essentially inflates the trade-in value of older cars and trucks, providing drivers an incentive to go ahead and buy a new, more fuel-efficient rig right now.Add the CARS voucher to existing tax credits and the generosity of Uncle Sam goes a long ways to paying for a new hybrid or clean-burning diesel vehicle.
Uncle Sam’s definition of a clunker is pretty specific, however. To qualify for a voucher your car must:

• have been manufactured in 1984 or later;
• have a combined city/highway fuel economy of 18 miles per gallon or less;
• be drivable;
• be owned and insured by you for at least a year.

The new vehicle can’t cost more than $45,000. If the car gets at least 22 mpg (combined city and highway mpg) the voucher is worth $3,500. If the new car gets 10 mpg better than the clunker you’re trading in the voucher is worth $4,500.


this is what is on the gov site ,,,it says ,i did not read it wrong that it has to be a 1984 or later""""""


Now the big question is is that to be older than 1985 or newer than 1985 ,,,cause i have a pos astro 1990 van that i have been holding on to ,,to do a tradie thingie
