I have been following the clunker bill, unfortunately neither of my clunkers qualify, one is listed on the EPA website at 26 mpg and the old truck is too old. I use the 26 mpg Prizm for work only and the old Chevy truck only when I need to move something, usually less than 500 miles per year, and one year less than 50 miles between annual state inspections. The bill seems to be written to best help SUV & Pick Up owners upgrade to newer models, personally I would have written it to be for vehicles that are too old for the EPA emissions tests and thus exempt from emissions control standards we have today.
If either of our clunkers is covered under the final bill , we will definitely take advantage of the program and may even consider buying a more expensive Smart orphan, rather than wait for our Pure to finally be built.
