A $3,500 or $4,500 voucher or payment made for such a voucher under the CARS “cash for clunkers” program to buy or lease a new fuel-efficient automobile is not taxable for federal income tax purposes.
[quote]If you traded in a clunker worth $3500, you got $4500 off for an apparent “savings” of $1000. You could have gotten $3,500 if you had just traded the car in.[/quote]
That’s just too funny. At a typical dealership, you’ll be lucky to get $3500 for trading in a 5-year-old Civic.
If you were to trade in a typical clunker (say, a 1995 Ford Explorer 4WD with 120k miles on the odometer), you’d get closer to $1000.

ParticipantCorrect Eugene but the part about every single American footing the bill for this POS program and others like it is true.
That is okay though, just put it on our bill…
When will people understand you cannot spend your way out of debt?
