Waiting is the hardest part

Tom Petty (and the Heartbreakers) may have said it best in their song "Waiting is the hardest part." I'm not sure if they were talking about the government's new Car Allowance Rebate System though...



Tomorrow the rules for the CARS program - aka cash-for-clunkers or cash-for-guzzlers - are to be finalized. McEleney Autoplex has 10 cars eligible for the program that will be delivered tomorrow. Our sister store, McEleney Autocenter, has 7 at last count.

To be honest the response to this new government program has been stronger than we first thought. We are looking forward to selling several more cars that qualify before that $1 Billion pool of cash runs out.

Here is an example of what one of our customers managed via the program...

Sale Price of Hyundai Accent : $13,500
Rebates (good to July 31): $1,500
Clunker Allowance: $4,500
New Price Only: $7,500

We are talking $7,500 for a brand new car with air and a radio AND a 5 year / 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty plus a 10 year / 100,000 mile powertrain warranty.

If you think you may be in a similar position please call us to see if your car qualifies!
