The “Cash for Clunkers” program, officially known as the Car Allowance Rebate Systems (CARS), ran from late July to late August. The program provided government vouchers of $3,500 or $4,500 to be used toward the purchase of a new vehicle for the trade-in of a used vehicle that met certain qualifications. The used vehicle was then scrapped. The program’s premise was to provide the automakers and dealers with a jumpstart in new car sales while getting so-called “gas guzzlers” off the road.
