I was out looking for a car and the dealers told me to check out the net for info. I ended up finding a site where a guy is writing about using the cash for clunkers to buy a new vehicle. He also tells you everything you need to know. It is at www.slickbudget.com if you need any info about it at all. He even had links to value your vehicle.

Both trucks are car qualify for the Cash For Clunkers but not the motorcycles.
