The House on Friday passed a bill to allocate another $2 billion to the Cash for Clunkers program. The move came after reports on Thursday that the program was out of money. The bill, which diverts $2 billion from a U.S. Department of Energy program loan guarantee program, passed 316-109.
“I’m pleased about the progress made in the House today about the cash for clunkers program,” said President Obama, in a speech immediately following the vote.
President Obama, in his Friday speech, presented the program as a success: “I’m happy to report that it has already succeeded beyond our expectations. It’s working so well that there are legitimate concerns that the original funds might already be exhausted.”
Cash for Clunkers, which Congress passed in June, was set to end on Nov. 1 or whenever its $1 billion budget was depleted.
Under the plan as enacted, vehicles purchased afterJuly 1 will be eligible for refund vouchers worth $3,500 to $4,500 on traded-in gas guzzlers. The trade-in vehicle has to get combined city and highway fuel economy ratings of 18 miles per gallon or less. The program aims at helping the struggling auto industry by taking inefficient cars off the road.

Dodge got plenty of media attention after its Charger throwback’s auto show debut in 2005. But the most hype to date centers around a buyer who insisted he get to drive the very first Charger — rapper 50 Cent. According to several sources, Dodge was more than happy to oblige. The result is a limited production run of the 2008 “DUB Edition” Dodge Charger SXT, which features 20-inch chrome wheels and a 13-speaker sound system. While the rapper-inspired model starts at $30,235, you can get the conventional Charger — minus the bling — for thousands less.

Superstar rides are one thing, but what do superheroes drive? Well, in real life, they’re not exactly sporting Batmobiles. According to Motor Trend, TV’s original Batman himself (Adam West) gets around in affordable style — with a Chrysler 300C (he calls it a “mini Bentley, but for a third of the price”). In addition, Transformers actor Josh Duhamel has been spotted in a black 300C SRT-8, the high-performance trim of the powerful sedan.

With its 425-horsepower V8 engine, the Dodge Challenger SRT8 (a performance-tuned variant of the regular Challenger) is a powerful and capable back-road burner. Its stylish retro design is a big draw, especially in Hollywood. The wide-ranging Glitterati who drive the SRT8 include TV star Chace Crawford, comedian Jay Leno, LA Lakers player Andrew Bynum and movie-star-turned-California-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Rapper TI even features a black Challenger in his music video for “What’s Up, What’s Happenin.’”
Few SUVs can match the Jeep Wrangler’s rugged capabilities. While it’s doubtful that most celebrities would take their customized Wranglers off road, they are most certainly attracted to the truck’s distinctive styling and open-air convertible top. Famous names seen in the macho Wrangler include rapper P. Diddy and singer Justin Timberlake, who both prefer the four-door Unlimited model. Soccer player David Beckham has also been spotted driving around his new California digs in a blacked-out Wrangler, while rocker Avril Lavigne has been seen driving a Rubicon model.
President Obama signed into law a program the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is calling the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS). This is a federal program that helps you purchase a new, more fuel efficient vehicle when you trade in a less fuel efficient vehicle
What is the amount of the credit?
The amount of the credit is $3,500 or $4,500, and generally depends on the type of vehicle you purchase and the difference in fuel economy between the purchased vehicle and the trade-in vehicle. Different requirements apply for work trucks.
How do I know if my car or truck is an eligible trade-in vehicle?
There are several requirements (but you also have to meet certain conditions for the car or truck you wish to buy). We can help you determine whether you have an eligible trade in vehicle but here are the guidelines:
Your trade-in vehicle must
have been manufactured less than 25 years before the date you trade it in
have a “new” combined city/highway fuel economy of 18 miles per gallon or less
be in drivable condition
be continuously insured and registered to the same owner for the full year preceding the trade-in
The trade-in vehicle must have been manufactured not earlier than 25 years before the date of trade in and, in the case of a category 3 vehicle, must also have been manufactured not later than model year 2001
Note that work trucks (i.e., very large pickup trucks and cargo vans) have different requirements.
Here’s a great place to visit after seeing us at our Philly store. The Simeone Foundation Automobile Museum is literally right around the corner from our showroom! It’s a Philly gem and it’s right in our backyard. Famour car afficianado Jay Leno stopped in to see the Simeone collection this time last year.
From the very earliest days of the automobile, racing was used to demonstrate the superiority of one manufacturer over another. The Simeone Foundation Museum celebrates this “Spirit of Competition” with a collection of some of the rarest and most significant sports racing cars ever built. The Museum transports visitors back in time to famous racing venues and tells the story of how competition contributed to the evolution of racing car design, performance and safety.
You’ll enjoy learning about these special cars if you take the time to visit the collection in person. Make it a family day.
