Volkswagen of America, Inc. today announced its support of the government funded ‘Cash for Clunkers’ program that will provide either $3,500 or $4,500 off the purchase price of new, more fuel efficient vehicle for consumers who trade in an older, less efficient vehicle. A vehicle in each of Volkswagen’s 2009 model lineup meets the qualifications for participation in the government sponsored program. In order to qualify, eligible new vehicles must achieve at least 22 miles-per-gallon (mpg) for automobiles, and at least 18 mpg for small light-duty trucks and SUV’s, and trade-in vehicles must achieve 18 mpg or less.
