NADA Chief Economist Estimates Clunker Cost Per Incremental Vehicle Sold at Around $4,600

Describes Edmunds.com Clunker estimate of $24,000 as 'overstated and misleading'

McLEAN, Va., Nov. 3 – After a thorough review of the Cash for Clunkers program, NADA Chief Economist Dr. Paul Taylor determined that the cost of each incremental vehicle sold was around $4,587. An incremental sale is a sale that would not otherwise have occurred without the Clunkers program.

Lawmakers Pass Amendment to Exclude Auto Dealers from New Federal Agency

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 — The House Financial Services Committee approved a key amendment, 47-21, to keep automobile dealers under the already effective federal and state laws which govern vehicle financing.

The amendment, sponsored by Rep. John Campbell, R-Calif., will not subject auto retailers to the regulations of the proposed Consumer Financial Protection Agency (CFPA), but will continue the full range of consumer protection rules of the Federal Reserve, the Federal Trade Commission and state laws.

NADA led a grassroots campaign in support of the Campbell Amendment. The bill still has a number of hurdles to overcome before reaching the White House for final approval. (Read more)


NADA Testifies in Support of a Single National Fuel Economy Standard

Testifying on behalf of auto dealers, Forrest McConnell, chairman of NADA’s regulatory affairs committee, told officials from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that “a single, national standard is essential and must set only feasible and affordable mandates.” (Read more)
