Topic: 2010 Mustang not eligible for "cash for clunkers"?

[dleone]

Hi all,
Been browsing the forum for while as I'd like to get a 2010 Mustang. I had been hoping to take advantage of the "cash for clunkers" program, but I don't see the Mustang listed on Ford's list of qualified cars. That would be a huge bummer....
does anybody know any more details about this?
Thanks
Dino

i am in the same position. the mustang does not qualify because they say it only gets about 18 mpg combined when it needs to be 22. i know that the mustang gets well over 18 mpg. i was hoping they would give it some wiggle room. i emailed ford and requested they email about it. they might loosen up the threads for it.

  The cash for clunkers program is now out of money, so good luck trying to buy a Mustang that is not considered a gas saving vehicle in the first place.

well now it is still operatingg.
and the mustang gets way better that 8mpg.
which is what i am driving now.
THAT is an improvment.
