Mike:

Your comment and the language in the Title XIII-Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save law differ, so I am confused…

The ruling posted on the government website specifically states “The Act’s one year insurance requirement is satisfied so long as the trade-in vehicle is insured, irrespective of the identity of the person holding the insurance policy.”

http://www.cars.gov/files/TheRule.pdf

I have scanned the 100 something page document of rules and procedures and couldn’t find anything the states the car is required to be insured by the owner for the preceeding year…while registration does have that requirement.

PT:

Youradvice to Becky was not correct. I sell cars, and have been doing Clunker Deals since the first week of this month. The vehicle being traded in MUST have been continuously insured and registered in the name of the person trading in the vehicle. The Feds are very specific about that.

I am a car salesman and our dealership has about 45 pending deals on this, pretty amazing how all of these people have come out of the woodwork to find a new car.

My questions are

Can I turn in a clunker truck toward a passenger car?

How do I get the best deal if the dealer knows I have an extra 4500 bucks to work with?

Nothing on cars.gov makes the truck to car issue clear.
