car allowance rebate system

Apple Chevrolet & CARS Program Overview

Recently, an important new program was created called Car Allowance Rebate System. The program is designed to help you purchase a new, more fuel efficient vehicle when you trade in a less fuel efficient vehicle between the program’s July launch and its’ end on November 1, 2009. Apple Chevrolet is pleased to take part in this program with many outstanding new, fuel-efficient vehicles. A more green, fuel-efficient fleet is a core element to GMs ongoing reinvention and the CARS program supports that mission.

Eligible trade-in vehicle/new vehicle combinations offer buyers U.S. Government-issued vouchers for amounts between $3,500 and $4,500 off the purchase price of a new vehicle. The voucher transaction and credit toward the purchase price of your vehicle is handled by Apple Chevrolet. You don’t have to sign up or enroll in any program. The voucher transaction is conducted between Apple Chevrolet and the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration .

Here's what to expect of the CARS offer process when you bring in your eligible trade-in vehicle to purchase a new vehicle here at Apple Chevrolet:

• Bring the title, registration and insurance papers showing continuous registration and insurance coverage for the past full year.
• When you buy a new vehicle, Apple Chevrolet handles the submission of all required information to NHTSA.
• NHTSA ensures that your purchase meets the requirements.
• About 10 days later, NHTSA will issue a financial credit to the dealer—assuming all program requirements have been met.
• That credit will be applied to the purchase price of your vehicle.
