I don't know what the exact rules are but I am seeing lots of cars at
the yards marked C4C and with engines painted orange. The nicest looking
was a 1999 Honda SUV of some kind.

When I looked up on the EPA site some time ago the MPG rating listed for
Vanagons qualified and 1985 and newer vehicles qualify.

Congress also won't be able to fund CARS for more than a short time, since so many people are taking advantage of it.  Ebay has an incorrect list.  The list I gave was from the OFFICIAL government web site.  The media must not be publicizing which cars are eligible or even the riterion or where to get information.

> Attached is the list of vehicles that are eleigible for trade-in.  Vanagons do not appear anywhere on that list.  If most Vanagons are more than 25 years old, they are ineligible simply due to their vintage.  If people are trading them in using CARS, the dealer can't get any rebate money from the government.  They are being needlessly scrapped.
