New Federal Gas Guzzler buyout/upgrade Bill?
saw this earlier:
http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com...s-guzzler.aspx To determine if a car qualifies as an 18mpg gas guzzler, I wonder if they go by official EPA mileage ratings, or real-world data?? :uhh: <cough>rx8<cough> |
So you go buy an old minivan for under $2000 and the get a voucher for $4500, to buy a new car, from the goverment?
|
^if so, im keeping my 8, and yaris here i come!
|
Im sure the RX8 will be too new to be eligible for this. I don't see any model years mentioned in the article but I'd think it would only count for older cars. If the 8 does qualify, I could probably get rid of it for a new fuel efficient car until the 16x comes out. maybe a Mazda3? So could you get the 4,500 gas mileage tax credit + the new car sales tax credit? That would be a pretty good deal. That would be close to 6k!

Taxpayers do not need to fund this.

Yeah, I def don't want them to take more of my paycheck in a few years.
But I could use a motorcycle :) I wonder if that counts as a vehicle :) |
I doubt it, they will want to aid the auto companies (and the auto workers unions).
