I was thinking about stripping out my truck and tradeing it in on the new cars.gov program.. (no the picture is not my truck) anyone here done it before? If you think about it, the program requiremnts state the car/truck only needs to RUN... I could sell the seats, radio/cd player, the other 3 doors. truck, tail gail, sparetire, rims, etc.. and make another $1000 or $2000 on those parts selling them on ebay --------------- The real cars.gov rules ------------- Your trade-in vehicle must have been manufactured less than 25 years before the date you trade it in have a "new" combined city/highway fuel economy of 18 miles per gallon or less be in drivable condition be continuously insured and registered to the same owner for the full year preceding the trade-in The trade-in vehicle must have been manufactured not earlier than 25 years before the date of trade in and, in the case of a category 3 vehicle, must also have been manufactured not later than model year 2001
The vehicle needs to be in drivable condition; that is, road safe/legal. You take off the doors and seats, etc, I doubt it's considered in 'drivable condition'...
That's awesome, I would like to know more about the requirements and the process you had to go through to get it all done. Was it a pain in the arse?
