Clunkers Run Out of Gas Monday

National media reports Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has announced the popular "Cash for Clunkers" program will end Monday evening, signaling an exhaustion of the $3Billion allocated by Congress.
The program, despite administrative snafus, has attracted customers back to car lots and for those with a qualifying clunker, a worthless vehicle could be worth $4500 towards the purchase of a new fuel efficient car.
The program helped empty car lots and dealers are now stuggling to find popular models.
As for me, I sold two vehicles under the clunker program and dozens of cars are headed for the junkyard from the FX dealerships.

When does the program start to "help" the folks who can't pay their car payment start.

Those people who got the $200.00 better hurry up and buy a new car.
