Hi there! I am trying to get a better car and my friend asked me if I tried a cash for clunkers thing she heard about on the radio, I think. I haven't heard anything about a cash for clunkers and I was curious if it might be beneficial to me. Can anybody tell me about it?

My friend also said that my car had to qualify for it or something. I have a 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix with over 160k miles. Does it qualify or no?

I saw on the news that it had to be less than 25 years old, less than 18 mpg gas mileage, and something else.

- Must have a combined MPG of 18 or less.*
- It must be in drivable condition.
- Manufactured in model year 1984 or later.
- Has been continuously insured consistent with State laws and registered to you for at least one year immediately prior to trade-in.

* Combined MPG is a blend of highway and city MPG. To determine your cars combined MPG you can look it up at: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/


There we go.
