Cash for Clunkers officially ended Monday night and dealers had until Tuesday evening to file all the paperwork. This morning the Department of Transportation stated that 690,114 vehicles were traded in for new ones, which totals $2.877 billion, just under the $3 billion set aside for the program.
According to the Obama administration the program either created or saved a total of 21,000 jobs this year.
“American consumers and workers were the clear winners thanks to the cash-for-clunkers program,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.
