North Carolina Used Car Dealers Get Extension On Carolina Clunkers Program

Posted on by

The “Carolina Clunkers” program has been wildly successful in stimulating the local economy so the  participating dealerships have been given the authorization to extend the program into February.  The original program was slated to come to an end January 29, 2011, but will be continued for a short time.

Under the NEW “Cash for Clunkers Carolina” or “Carolina Clunkers” (program, consumers will get paid as much as $4,500 more than your current vehicle is worth towards any nicer, newer vehicle from a participating new car dealer when they trade in their old vehicle and purchase or lease a nicer, newer qualifying vehicle.

In order to be eligible for the program, the trade-in passenger vehicle must be in drivable condition. Transactions must be made between Jan 29, 2011 and when the funding runs out for the program (currently scheduled to be February 26, 2011). This is a limited time sale promotion.

FUNDING FOR THE PROGRAM

The CASH FOR CLUNKERS CAROLINA or CAROLINA CLUNKERS (CARS) program is a privately funded program that helps consumers buy or lease a nicer, newer vehicle from a participating dealer when they trade in a “clunker” car or truck. The program is designed to energize the economy, boost auto sales and put safer vehicles on North Carolina roadways. No local, state or federal tax dollars are being used to fund CASH.

ELIGIBILITY FOR CAROLINA CLUNKERS PROGRAM

Any drivable vehicle is eligible regardless of the age, mileage or condition. Both domestic and imported vehicles are eligible for the program.

HOW IT WORKS

Consumers bring their vehicles, title, proof of registration and proof of insurance to the dealership. Consumers will get paid as much as $4,500 more than your current vehicle is worth towards any nicer, newer vehicle from a participating car dealer when they trade in their old vehicle and purchase or lease a nicer, newer qualifying vehicle if all program requirements are met.

The dealers are not reimbursed by any other government program or taxpayer-supported program. The vehicles traded in under the CASH program will be disposed of at the selling dealer’s discretion.

Frank Myers Auto Maxx Owner Featured On NBC, CBS, ABC & FOX Affiliates Across The Country

Posted on by

The owner of Frank Myers Auto Maxx, a Winston-Salem used car dealership, is scheduled to appear on ABC, CBS, NBC, ABC and FOX affiliates across the country on The Brian Tracy Show.

The owner of a Winston Salem used car dealership, Tracy Myers, will be appearing on The Brian Tracy Show in the first quarter of 2011 to discuss the secrets of the success of his dealership during a recession.

“I’m excited about being one of the first guests on the TV show of the legendary Brian Tracy,” stated Mr. Myers, owner of Frank Myers Auto Maxx. “When times get tough,” Myers continued, “it is quite common for business owners to cling to what’s familiar, even if it’s losing them money. This is like grabbing an electric wire and instead of letting go we grip the wire tighter, causing further pain. We react with attachment rather than release. Even worse, we follow with behaviors like blame, denial, resistance and rationalization. The success of Frank Myers Auto Maxx during a time when other dealerships have been shutting their doors is a true blessing. I’m happy to share what I know with others.”

The interview with Mr. Myers will appear on The Brian Tracy Show when it premieres during the first quarter of 2011. The Brian Tracy Show will appear on NBC, CBS, ABC and FOX affiliates throughout the country.
