The Cash for Clunkers program you've been hearing about has passed both

the House and the Senate and will be signed into law within a few days.

                               Here's what you need to know:

     This will be a great opportunity to get out of your older car that doesn't get

great mileage and get into one that does, using a combination of the $3,500 or

$4,500 voucher, the best price Access Auto can negotiate for you on the new

car, and any manufacturer rebates or low interest rate specials that are in

place.

     It's a very short-term program. Probably starting in mid July, it will end in

November 2009. If you have a vehicle you want to turn in, make sure you

know where your title and registration are, and check them carefully to make

sure there are no problems with either. Occasionally, you'll find your

registration shows a lienholder, even though you paid the loan off years ago.

It's time consuming correcting those kinds of things, so get started on it now.

     Beware of websites that try to direct you to "participating" dealers. What

these dealers are "participating" in is paying for referrals from the website.

They'll get your contact information and then drive you crazy.

     Vouchers will be for either $3,500 or $4,500, depending on the improvement in

mileage you get by turning the "clunker". And you must turn it in for a NEW

vehicle. Buying a pre-owned one doesn't qualify.

     You need to have owned and operated a qualifying 1984 or later vehicle for at

least the last year. If you have a car that's now being "non-opped" it won't

qualify. You can't go out and buy a junker and then use it for this voucher

program.   Combined mileage on the clunker and qualifying improved mileage

on the new vehicle varies by the type of vehicle. Cars are different than

SUV's, Pickups, Vans, Work Trucks, etc.

To find out what vehicles are eligible that average 18 mpg or less and have a

value of less than $4500, click here. If your car is worth more, don't turn it in.

Keep in mind, that if you miss this window, your older car isn't going to go up in

value, so it could be costly to miss out.

Please feel free to pass this email on to your friends and family who might be

interested. I'll be posting it on my website as the June (or maybe July)

MotorMouth Newsletter, but it may be a while before that happens or I get the

links in this email active there.

I'm looking forward to helping you in anyway I can to take advantage of the

Cars for Clunkers program. I'm even thinking about it doing it myself.

Here to count on,
