Cash for Clunkers Websites Announce a New Clunker Calculator for Florida Consumers

Don't Miss: Cash for Clunkers Consumer Guide

NAPLES, Fla. and SARASOTA, Fla., July 27, 2009; WWW.CashForClunkersFLA.com created an easy to use calculator that helps consumers in Naples and Sarasota, Florida determine if their vehicle qualifies for the rebate program and provides pricing information from local dealers.

The new Cash for Clunkers legislation has mobilized consumers and dealers who want to take advantage of this historic legislation that is giving consumers $4,500 towards the purchase of a new more fuel efficient vehicle. www.CashForClunkersFL.com and www.CashForClunkersFLA.com are online portals that educate consumers in Sarasota and Naples about the program and help Floridians get pricing from participating dealers over the web. One of the most popular features on the site is their "Clunker Calculator," which helps consumers quickly determine if their current vehicle qualifies and for how much. The site also includes a multi-media tour that explains the process to get pricing from a dealer and provides a list of all of the vehicles that are ideal candidates for the $3,500 and $4,500 vouchers. Finally, the site helps consumers inquire online to get product, pricing and payment information directly from participating dealerships.

www.CashForClunkersFL.com and www.CashForClunkersFLA.com are consumer information portals, not government websites, so they are designed to give the consumer a simple summary of the program with tips on how to maximize the value of the rebate based on the car they decide to buy. The NHTSA, the government agency administering the program, says, "You are not required to sign up or enroll in this program. Participating new car dealers will apply a credit, reducing the price you pay at the time of your purchase or lease, provided the vehicle meets the program requirements." To make it easy for consumers to connect with a participating dealer online rather than wasting gas driving around town, the websites helps consumers inquire directly to participating dealers who provide pricing information so the customer does not need to leave their home. Spanish speaking consumers can visit www.DineroPorSuCarcacha.com. Germain Motor Company has sponsored both websites to help educate consumers in Naples and Sarasota Florida about this historic opportunity. Germain sponsored the regional consumer information portals, which are affiliated with www.CashForClunkersInformation.org, a national organization that has promoted the bill since its inception in congress.
