Selling your clunker?
Are you going to take advantage of the federal “cash for clunkers” program that lets you trade in your gas guzzler and get up to $4,500 toward a new, fuel-efficient vehicle? If so, Jerry Cornfield, jcornfield@heraldnet.com, wants to learn what you’re giving up and what you’re buying.
Under the program, your vehicle must be less than 25 years old and registered to you, plus insured and drivable for the entire year before you trade it in.
Passenger cars must have been rated at 18 or fewer miles per gallon when new and the replacement car must get at least 22 mpg. Trucks and SUVs are a slightly different story.
