It might be time to trade up…
To start: it may be a good idea to take your old, beaten used car off of that eBay auction. With a maximum of $4500 in cash available to eligible new car buyers, you need to prove to the government that you've owned your car for over a year.
Other points are that your vehicle must be less than 25 years old, your old car should get less than 18 mpg, and that you don't need a special voucher — dealers will take care of the paperwork for you.

Video: Kia gets its Tron on
From Banovsky 3 days ago
