‘Cash for Clunkers’ to Shut Down Monday
Thursday, August 20, 2009 at 4:19 pm
From the just-released statement out of the Department of Transportation:
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced Thursday that after a wildly successful run, the cash for clunkers program will come to a close on Monday, August 24th at 8 p.m. EDT.
“This program has been a lifeline to the automobile industry, jump starting a major sector of the economy and putting people back to work,” Secretary LaHood said. “At the same time, we’ve been able to take old, polluting cars off the road and help consumers purchase fuel efficient vehicles.”
As of today, the CARS program has recorded more than 457,000 dealer transactions worth $1.9 billion in rebates.

Dealership in need of an English major. Real sign in NH:
Don't have a clunker? We can help!
