‘Cash-For-Clunkers’ Auto Vouchers Plan Approved by U.S. House

By John Hughes

June 16 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. House approved “cash-for- clunkers” legislation today allowing consumers to use vehicle trade-in vouchers worth as much as $4,500 to buy new vehicles.

So, if I had a Clunker, I could get $4,500 against a new car? Although a decent Clunker would probably get more than that on eBay!

that went down well in Germany. And doing well here. wish i could drive
 
I'm not so sure on that - the programmes artificially bring forward demand, so what happens when the stimulus is over? All of a sudden, the car market stalls (again)

These programmes also send demand towards smaller cars, harming a number of the premium brands

Not to mention the effect on the second hand car sales ....
