What is Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS)?

President Obama has signed into law a program NHTSA is calling the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS).  This is a government program that helps you purchase a new, more fuel eff vehicle when you trade in a less fuel efficient vehicle. 

Under the CARS program, NHTSA is charged with developing rules for program implementation in 30 days.  You may want to contact us at Dondelinger in mid-July for more information on this new program.

5 Important Things to Know

• 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
