A new stimulus/environmental measure...but you already bought the Prius. Happy trails!
Well, don't hold your breath:
- I looked up SilverDaughters Jeep Grand Cherokee on the fueleconomy.gov site...rated at 21mpg
yeah right
try about 14mpg!
- we discussed it yesterday with a deal (assuming it gets signed by the prez "as is"...) but this whole view of a "scrap value" vs. a "trade in value" is going to create some confusion... This will be the biggest benefit to folks who always drive beaters...but probably still can't afford to take on the responsibility of a new car
SC: congrats on the decision! Good choice! I think I'm resolving to an '06 Civic EX for SilverDaughter. I could see the FIT/Vibe/Matrix as good "short trip" cars...but struggled to see it being comfortable on her long drives home from school
