Money for Clunker Cars
Clear the Air is a recycling program which will give you $$ and more for getting rid of older cars, 1998 and older. If you turn them in, you will receive 12 consecutive months of public transit and a refund of up to $1500 on a more energy efficient vehicle – or other rewards. The vehicle has to be bought at a participating Honda or Toyota dealer and is on cars up to 4 years old.

In addition of receiving the offer of Clear the Air!, you could get extra credit from the Quebec’s government which offers a tax credit for the purchase or lease of a vehicle with a low fuel consumption or a fully electric car. If an eligible person buys or leases for a long-term period (minimum 12 continuous months) a recognized green vehicle before January 1st 2012, they may claim a refundable tax credit. Get all the information on the Québec’s income tax site for the year 2011.
Credit information available for subsequent years (2012 +) are on the Web site “Running on green power!”
