BERKLEY VOTES TO EXTEND “CASH FOR CLUNKERS” PROGRAM

Nevadans Can Save up to $4,500 on New Fuel-Efficient Vehicles

 

(July 31, 2009 — Washington, D.C.)  Congresswoman Shelley Berkley (NV) today voted to extend the popular “Cash for Clunkers” program.  The addition of $2 billion in resources for the program will allow even more Nevadans to trade in a less fuel-efficient vehicle for one that delivers better gas mileage.  The House passed the extension on a vote of 316-109. 

 

“This program helps consumers save on a new car purchase or lease, it’s good for our car and truck dealers and it helps our goal of reducing emissions tied to global climate change.  Extending ‘Cash for Clunkers’ will enable even more Nevadans to take advantage of this popular rebate program that can provide up to $4,500 toward the purchase or lease of a new, more fuel-efficient vehicle,” said Berkley.        

 

The legislation provides rebates for cars and trucks in the following four categories:

Passenger Cars: The old vehicle must get 18 mpg or less. New vehicles with improvement of at least 4 mpg will get a $3,500 voucher. New vehicles with improvement of at least 10 mpg will get a $4,500 voucher.

Light-Duty Trucks: The old vehicle must get 18 mpg or less. New vehicles with improvement of at least 2 mpg will get a $3,500 voucher. New vehicles with improvement of at least 5 mpg will get a $4,500 voucher.

Large light-Duty Trucks: The old vehicle must get 15 mpg or less. New vehicles with improvement of at least 1 mpg will get a $3,500 voucher or trade-in of a “work truck.” New vehicles with improvement of at least 2 mpg will get a $4,500 voucher.

Work Trucks: The old vehicle must be a pre-2002 model. New vehicles in the same or smaller weight class will get a $3,500 voucher.

Additional information on how consumers can take advantage of the “Cash for Clunkers” program can be found at http://www.cars.gov
