On September 3, 2009, Ford Canada launched its commercial version of the U.S. Cash for Clunkers program, offering Canadians up to $3,000 for vehicles that are 15 years old. Ford is the third automaker in Canada to offer such a program. Moreover, it's the highest rebate offered among the three. Under the plan, Ford would pay $1,000 toward a new car, or $3,000 toward a new truck or luxury Lincoln. "the Clean Air Foundation says a car made in 1995 emits up to 19 times as much smog-causing pollution as one made in 2004 or later."[http://www.thespec.com/News/Local/article/627974
Registered and insured autos that are 15 years or older would qualify for $1,000 toward the purchase of a new car or compact truck; $2,000 for a crossover or sport utility vehicle; or $3,000 for a larger pickup or Lincoln luxury model.[1]See Ford Rebates and Lincoln Rebates for additional information about rebates available.
