Cash for Clunkers - Message to Auto Dealers from the Department of Transportation

The CARS website has been fully operational overnight and will remain open

for dealers to submit sales documentation until 8:00 p.m. EDT this evening.

After that time, the system will be closed to new submissions. The deadline

for completing new deals has already passed, so no dealer or consumer

should agree to a CARS transaction today.

Due to high user demand, dealers may experience some delay in accessing

the system at peak times. If this occurs, dealers are requested to try again in

30 minutes.
