Indeed, to qualify for the program. The "clunker" must get an EPA est. 18MPG or lower and the new car must get 22MPG or higher. If the improvement in fuel economy is better than 10MPG the "clunker" qualifies for $4,500. If the difference is less than 10MPG the "clunker" qualifies for $3,500. Also the buyer must either purchase or lease (5 year min.) a new car

The Van got 18, the 2.5i gets 22. Difference of 4MPG, so it worked, and I got $3,500 for the van. I wanted to get a WRX, but it gets 21MPG, so it didn't qualify, and it is a little bit out of my price range anyway.

I've achieved 26.1 before, coming back down from Tahoe

Congrats on the purchase Jourdan!
