A great view from the Summit
Here at Summit Place Kia in metro Detroit we are proud to offer the full line of affordable, high-quality, fuel efficient Kia models. What makes selling these vehicles even more exciting is that our customers will now be able to choose from 11 models that qualify for up to a $4,500 rebate under the federal government CARS program – more commonly known as the “cash for clunkers” law.
Here is the press release outlining this program from Kia Motors:
IRVINE, Calif. – – In support of the recently signed Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS) by the U.S. government, Kia Motors America (KMA) today announced that consumers in need of a new vehicle will be able to choose from a total of 11 eligible Kia models that qualify for up to a $4,500 rebate. Under this new buyer incentive program consumers can purchase a new, more fuel efficient Kia vehicle when they trade-in a less fuel efficient car or truck of any eligible make or model.
“Consumers have the opportunity to not only purchase a new car with a significant rebate, but also reap the benefits of modernized safety features, advanced technology as well as increased fuel economy,” said Tom Loveless, vice president of sales, KMA. “There has been no other time in recent history when such an extensive national buyer incentive program has been implemented, and Kia Motors is pleased to provide consumers with a comprehensive selection of vehicles that are praised for their style, quality, value, fuel efficiency and long list of standard safety features.”
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) guidelines indicate that consumers may earn $4,500 with the purchase of a new car with an increase of 10-plus miles per gallon (mpg) or may earn $3,500 with an increase of four-plus mpg when they trade in a car or SUV with less than 18 mpg combined. For SUVs, five-plus mpg may earn $4,500 and two-plus mpg may earn $3,500.

In accordance with the NHTSA, retailers that are enrolled in the program will process transactions using program guidelines and apply appropriate credits at the time of purchase. The following details the official government criteria for trade-in rebates:
- Trade-in vehicles have been manufactured less than 25 years before the date of trade-in
- Trade-in vehicles must have a federal combined city/highway fuel economy of 18 mpg or less
- Eligible vehicles must be in driveable condition and have been continuously insured and registered to the same owner for at least one year
- Vouchers are not necessary; dealers will apply a credit at the time of the purchase
