Cash for Clunkers is a Hit: Maryland Car Dealer Sells Over 120 and Counting

The Preston Automotive Group serves Maryland, Delaware and Virginia with great deals on new and used CARS and their participation in the Car Allowance Rebate System has allowed them to sell over 60 new cars, trucks and sport utility vehicles.
The Preston Automotive Group was one of the few dealerships in Maryland and Delaware to offer the car allowance rebate system to customers prior to the release date of the official rules from the National Highway Traffic Safety Association. This strategy proved successful for the automotive group, as they have delivered over 60 vehicles from various franchises such as Ford Lincoln Mercury, Nissan, Hyundai, Mazda and Suzuki.
Preston Ford a dealership associated with the Preston Automotive Group, sealed their first deal July 2, 2009. The first deal was done with a couple trading in their 1990 Ford Bronco for the new purchase of a 2009 Ford Focus. The couple’s trade qualified for a government rebate of $4500 making the purchase of a new focus a steal for Maryland residents Al and Betsy Mullins.
The Maryland car dealer has put together a team of experts on the car allowance rebate system in order to create a system of checks and balances to insure all possible deals under the CARS program are initiated, and no eligible deals are turned away. Preston’s Director of CARS deals, Rick Mikolajewski, stated, “We have already done 120 deals and counting, It is amazing to see some of the vehicles our customers have been driving around in as their primary vehicle, some models I didn’t even know existed have been traded to us under the CARS program.”
Car shoppers from Maryland and Delaware have been desperate for answers to their questions about the confusing stipulations of the car allowance rebate system. Preston Automotive Group has created a “one-stop shop” for customers, with their CARS Information Center serving Maryland and Delaware. At the CARS Information Center customers can find out if their trade qualifies as well as shop for a new fuel efficient vehicle.
The Preston Automotive Group offers 67 models eligible for purchase under the program and has already noticed the increase in customer inquiry since the new bill has become effective and they plan on increased sales starting with the month of July. The program is expected to provide cash vouchers for an estimated 250,000 vehicles and began July 1, 2009 and run until November 1, 2009 or until the funds designated for the program have been exhausted.
