The Cash for Clunkers program, officially known as Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS), will be ending Monday, Aug. 24 at 8 p.m. ET. This popular program has allowed customers to trade in their older, polluting gas-guzzlers and get a $3,500 or $4,500 credit toward the purchase of a new fuel-efficient vehicle. It is a complicated program that includes many requirements to qualify. Edmunds.com has pulled together all the tables, articles and resources you need to see if you can cash in on this program. We also created lists of the cars and trucks that may qualify for this program.
