Texas Car Voucher Program - It's finally here!

If you need a new car, the state of Texas may have money for you.

A couple of months ago we first told you about a new program designed to get older cars off the road and cut down on pollution.

Now the program is up and running and it will help you put up to $3,500 toward the purchase of a new or used car.

PLEASE tell us if this will be an ongoing project or if it is just a window of opportunity, and if so, how long this program is expected to last.

It’s GREAT that the State is giving those $3K vouchers to get the older cars off the road.

Unfortunately, the people who need that money most, are being put in a bind, because of the requirements the State is demanding, to qualify for the Voucher.

That being:
A very low income person (like me) would be glad to turn his old wreck in, but the state requires that the car which is purchased, is only a few years old.

IF someone doesn’t have a LOT of money to put with that $3K, he can’t get enough money together, to buy one, unless he goes into debt, and won’t if he’s like me, and can’t pay a Creditor back. See!?

Bait but can’t switch !

what if you don't own a car ,is it still possible for me to get approved for the voucher

How can we learn more about loopholes in this voucher program. Is this program full proof, can i recieve more than 1 vouche? :)

[margaretalindley]

how can you get a car if you don't live in Houston, we live in Livingston Texas-Polk county,is there anyway you can qualify.

[no money]

What if the old vehicle is registered under two owners like husban and wife, does this mean we qualify for 7,000 dollars.I just hope that could be posible.

People do not have old cars because they want to , they have them because they are paid off and it is not a burden on their shoulders. Besides 3000 dollars, thats like a minimum down payment and the monthly payments alone will either put you furthur into dept or cause you to live off of ramein and macarony.
I wish they would make monthly payments lower, so people actually could take advantage of the vousher money, enjoy their new rides and benefit the environment. That's the whole purpose of it, I just wish that people who came up with this idea and delarships would consider the monthly payments and the reason behind owening an old car.

[sarah]

I own a 2000 mercury cougar and it won't pass the emissons test. Do I not qualify because my car is not 10yrs old?

[loser]

Our car is a chevy cavalier 1989, my question is does the car have to had fail an emission test because I really do need a new car but right now unable to buy one.

[Linda Sanspree]

I drive a 1995 Nissan Maxima that has 205,000 miles. Need help getting a newer vehicle.

This car voucher program is a God-send. I have a '90 Cadillac which I inherited. I had no plans to ever sell it, but it needs about $4,000 worth of work done on it. If my deceased relative who owned this car were alive, she would advise me to utilize this program to get a new/nice/used car. I have already decided to purchase a car for $11,000. I'll really have to negotiate the number of months it will be financed so that my note is below $300 per month. I know God answers prayers. I have supernatural favor. Praise the Lord. Thank you Jesus for interceding for me. THINGS ARE GREAT IN 2008.

[Lorelie Roeder]

I have a 1998 Chevy Luminia, It is updated with all the maintance wise. Needs air only. I have two boys and they sit way to close to each other, if you know what I mean , I think we all need our own row to sit in. We jsut bought our 1st new house, (a little late in life) now we can't afford a new car... Please help. I was thinking about a Hyundia Santa Fe. We wouldn't each have out own row, but I think its a pretty reasonable $ amount for a new one.
Is there any way I would qualify for a voucher?

[anthony bullock]

if i'm approved for a voucher when do i turn over my car? also how long do i have to look for another car?
