These deals are actually pretty nuts I work at westherr jeep/Chrysler on southwestern right now if you have a qualifying vehicle for the cash for clunkers you can get, the 3500 Chrysler cash back on the patriot plus the 4500 on the government clunker rebate on your vehicle if it qualifies. 8000 total back on a vehicle that is pretty inexpensive to begin with is not bad. our Toyota stores have similar deals going on the rav-4’s but the shitty thing is we cant keep enough of these vehicles on the lots to keep up with the demands lol. if your considering taking advantage of this do it soon. I heard that the government only has so much set aside for the clunker deals because they are the ones paying those rebates and when the funding runs out its done.:tup: ---

The 300C or Crossfire would be decent for a daily. ---

SRT models are excluded, but still, 34k-3500 (cars)-9k(double clunker)= 21500. Seems like a damn good deal to me ---

I was really thinking about this too, but I love not having a car payment, so I’ll probably just stick with my STS for another 1-2 years :gotme: It is a really great deal though! ---

“The value of the credit for the purchase or lease of a new passenger car depends upon the difference between the combined fuel economy of the vehicle that is traded in and that of the new vehicle that is purchased or leased. If the new vehicle has a combined fuel economy that is at least 4, but less than 10, miles per gallon higher than the traded-in vehicle, the credit is $3,500. If the new vehicle has a combined fuel economy value that is at least 10 miles per gallon higher than the traded-in vehicle, the credit is $4,500.” Well shit, there goes the 300c ---
