    Hello,

    We are looking to give the car we bought from the clunker program to my nephew (just got his license). Are there any small print that says I have to keep the car purchased under the program for XX number of months?


    We hardly drive the car so we figure it would be more useful going to my nephew.

    Btw, it is not a prius :).

    I bought my Prius through C4C and did not sign anything having to do with any limitation. I have the full title in my name meaning I can do whatever I want with this car.

    Thanks for your reply. I did not sign anything either. Just making sure that I ask first.

    We got our Prius in C4C. I don't remember any limitations on how long we had to keep it.

    I never saw anything about any rules about that when I looked into it. The purpose of the program was to get old gas guzzlers and polluters off the road while stimulating the economy. I don't think they cared about what happened after the purchase.

    I still find it hard to believe that my '93 Toyota pickup didn't qualify. Damn Toyotas. ;)

    Why not ask the people who gave you the money? No, not the dealer, the government agency responsible for the program.

    I asked our F&I manager and he said there were no restrictions on how long you had to keep the vehicle. If its not a Prius I can understand wanting to get rid of it ... hehehe just kidding :D.
