Chrysler Canada has decided that they will attempt to replicate the success of the General Motors’ “Cash For Clunkers” event. The GM rebate program promised to purchase old but usable cars as a credit towards a new GM vehicle.

The U.S. government collaborated with GM to make the financing possible. And it seems to have worked as a record number of people decided to take advantage and purchase a new vehicle. Some dealerships even had to hire more help to take care of the influx of customers.
The Chrysler Canada “Cash For Clunkers” is just starting but they are already falling behind what was promised to customers in the U.S. For one the Canadian Government is not offering any compensation and the maximum Chrysler will pay for your old used vehicle is $1,500 whereas in the States it was closer to $3,000.
If you are living in Canada and are looking at taking advantage of this promotion your old car needs to adhere to some basic guidelines. The clunker must be a 1995 or old vehicle and you must provide proof that the car was insured in Canada during the last year.
