Germany: Junk Your Old Car and Get $3,250
Sunday, February 8th, 2009
In a move that aims to properly get rid of dilapidated or old cars, the German government has reportedly offered to pay $3,250 for people who junk their old cars. The said rebate would be a big help to direct them towards new environmental friendly vehicles, a move that is connected with the $67 billion government plan of Germany.
It’s getting car shoppers’ attention. Abdul Kamand of Frankfurt said the deal looked good as he admired new Volkswagens this week at a Frankfurt dealership.
“I’ve got a Golf with more than 10 years on its back; the car’s old,” Kamand said. “Through this I can make a profit. They’re giving me more than I’d be able to get for the car if I tried to sell it.”
