Cash for Clunkers Website Announces New Clunker Calculator for Florida Consumers

FLORIDA (Naples & Sarasota) - www.CashForClunkersFL.com and 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.

Celebrities Support www.CashForClunkersInformation.org

CashForClunkersInformation.org and its regional consumer information sites have received an important push from celebrities like Dancing With The Stars’ Cristian de la Fuente and Ugly Betty star Angelica Vale to educate consumers about the program. In addition, Alfonso Aguilar, the former Chief of the U.S. Office of Citizenship, is also a spokesperson for the organization due to the large impact the bill has on the Latino community and other immigrant groups.

“This government subsidy will make it easy for people to get a new car that is a lot less expensive to operate and maintain because of the great gas mileage and lack of repair costs,” said Cristian de la Fuente. “It is great to see the government funded automotive bailout helping hardworking people who need the financial support.” Angelica Vale added, “Finally consumers are getting a bailout, because they are benefiting by up to $4,500 a person.” Since a large number of the clunkers on the road are owned by minorities and immigrants, these communities will benefit significantly from this legislation. “We have passionately supported Cash For Clunkers because of its positive impact on the environment, economy, consumers and its benefits for hundreds of Hispanic American communities whose livelihoods are tied to the auto industry,” said Alfonso Aguilar. “This legislation will create thousands of new jobs for all Americans who work in the many businesses that serve the automotive industry.”

About the Name – Cash For Clunkers

Our websites refer to all the international and national vehicle scrappage programs as “Cash For Clunkers” because of the popular name given to the concept by the public and the press. While making its way through congress there were many bills with many names so the public and the press commonly referred to all versions of the bill as the “Cash For Clunkers” program. For this reason many consumer information sites, including ours, have utilized this universally understood term to refer to the many programs that exist in the world, some funded by the government (C.A.R.S) and others financed by automotive retailers.
