Time to buy up some old vans for $800 and trade it in.

That was a bill supported by the auto industry. Another give-away.

Problem if that you need to buy a new car to get the credit.

Exactly what I was thinking. …well if the rule is going to be you get a credit if the new car gets 22mpg OR if it gets 10mpg better than your older car.
If that’s the case, getting that 10mpg old van might just make any new car you buy qualify.

Not everyone buying a new car has an older car that qualifies.

AN was onto something. This should prop up the values of old junkers. I should rent a lot, buy a bunch of old junkers that don’t exceed $1500 in price. Start a business selling these old cars to individuals that are in the market for a new vehicle but don’t have a trade-in that qualifies. Sell them a vehicle for $2500.

Makes sense. A vehicle worth only $500 now has a potential value of $3500 for a certain individual. If I had a car worth $3500 that would not qualify for the trade-in voucher, why would I trade it in? I would go buy the $500 car, trade it in, get the $3500 voucher, and sell my other car.

Who determines the mpg of the vehicles? Is the definition of mpg the same for the old junker as that of the new vehicle?
