Cash for Clunkers
The Obama administration expanded Cash for Clunkers to include vehicles already in the production pipeline late Thursday. Previously, buyers were limited to vehicles in showrooms and on dealer lots. Some dealers were reporting shortages. Consumers have griped about fuel efficient vehicles in short supply in dealer showrooms.
Washington --The Transportation Department said Thursday consumers who want to purchase new vehicles not yet on dealer lots can still take part in the $3 billion "cash for clunkers" program.
Cash for Clunkers extended:President Barack Obama recently signed legislation that would add $2 billion to extend the Cash for Clunkers program. The original $1 billion is rapidly being used up. Moreover, approximately 316,189 voucher requests have been submitted by the dealers. If consumers want to order a vehicle under the CARS program, the dealer must obtain the Vehicle Identification Number from the manufacturer before submitting a transaction at http://www.cars.gov/ The dealer must have all required documentation for the trade-in vehicle in order for the rebate request to be considered.
Consumer Reports recommended cars that qualify"The complete list is available on the http://www.consumerreports.com/ website, but you must be a Consumer Reports subscriber to see the complete list.
"The Department of Transportation is trying to make sure that everyone who wants to can participate in this very successful program," said Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "Allowing consumers to order vehicles and qualify for the rebate will expand buyers' choices and keep production lines running," he said. Nearly 13 million visitors have clicked on the government's "cash for clunkers" Web site, while more than 330,000 vehicles have been purchased under the program -- about 20,000 a day this week.

Paid to Drive
Paid to Drive, They are called “free car” programs or “get paid to drive” promotions. These programs do exist, although the offers have since dwindled. So, how to find them.
The idea is to have advertising stuck onto your car.The car owner is then compensated, usually a few hundred dollars per month, in the form of a “rental” payment for letting the company use that space. In the past, there’s also been a “free car” version of this concept. The company provided the driver with a new car, prewrapped with adverts. The companies then gets lots of exposure through colourful and eye-catching ads in flight.It makes sense for companies to select drivers who live in desirable locations such as high-traffic, urban areas. There are still opportunities out there, if you know where to look.
