Cash for Clunkers - home version

Now here's a Cash for Clunker program I can get excited about!

Since the government is dolling out stimulus money and rebates like its cheese, why not take it into the kitchen?

The program is still in the planning stages, but you can bet I'll be taking their trade in offer and recommending it to my clients with older appliances that need updating.

The government has set aside about $300 million for rebates to buyers of energy-efficient appliances like washing machines, refrigerators, furnaces, freezers and central air conditioners. Manufacturers say that you should expect to see rebates up to $200. Combine that with a sale from the local store, and it really sweetens the deal on an energy efficient appliance.
