Hyundai is out to increase July cars sales despite delays in the implementation of the Cash for Clunkers bill.  For official updates on the program visit http://cars.gov.

Today, Hyundai send their dealers an announcement that was perfectly timed for the July 4th car sales weekend. Dealers received news today about the ”CARS Rebate Advance Program“  only offered by Hyundai.  The program is designed to help car dealers with cash-flow concerns and is completely optional.

Since the official start date for the CARS program is estimated to be July 24th, the firm action gives Hyundai dealers the option to start selling cars in advance of the official NHTSA start date.  The bill outlines that cars sold starting July 1st will qualify but details on how cars will be processed are still unclear.

This may give Hyundai dealers the advance jump on capturing the pent up demand for car sales stalled until the official program begins around July 24th.

The timing for Hyundai is perfect. The of Fourth of July weekend is historically good for car dealers and Hyundai plans to give their network of dealers all the muscle they can deliver to get consumers into a fuel efficient qualifying car.

Hyundai July Rebates

The Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS) which will be operated by the NHTSA will offer cash credits as high as $4,500 for a qualified “clunker”.

Hyundai’s current rebayes are attractive and can be combined with the CARS cash credits For example, if a consumer qualifies for a $4,500 CARS credit, the Hyundai incentives on two popular models yield significant savings to consumers:

• Hyundai Elantra Incentives ($2,000) + CARS Rebate ($4,500) = $6,500 off MSRP
• Hyundai Sonata Incentives ($3,000) + CARS Rebate ($4,500) = $7,500 off MSRP

Consumers should check with their local Hyundai dealer to ensure that these rebates are valid in your area.

The bill is NOT yet law as the finalized bill must be passed by Congress.  It is expected that a vote could come next week and then President Obama would sign it into law.  Stay posted because the bill seems very likely to pass.

Since the funding is only 25% of what was originally requested, the bill may only be able to provide vouchers for consumers for a limited time.  The thought seems that lawmakers wanted to get the bill started and that the one billion dollars could hold the program until the end of the fiscal year, which is September 30, 2009. 

Democratic supporters of the bill are obviously pleased with the compromise and commitment to fund the program.  A final vote is expected next week.

Consumers are encouraged to connect with a Particiapting Dealer if they are interested in purchasing a car this summer before the funding runs out.  the form on the left can expedite the process of contacting a local dealer who can assist you with your trade in and new purchase.

During the House floor debate, Mazda was called out as one of the automakers supporting the Cash for Clunkers bill in addition to the Detroit 3, Toyota, and Honda.  Toyota could stand to gain the most if the bill passes, as the CashforClunkersfacts.com website reports that Toyota car models lead consumer interest in fuel efficient cars.

The proposal is aimed at jumpstarting the sale of new cars and trucks, with a voucher of up to $4500 given to those who purchase new, more fuel efficient cars.   Environmentalists have their eye on the bill as well as the regulations put forth by the act could mean more environmentally friendly cars on the road, which in turn could reduce the carbon footprint and help position the US to be less dependent on foreign oil.
