Back in the month of April, Mercedes-Benz began making all sorts of plans to come out with the Mercedes-Benz F-Cell – on a smaller scale.  The German automaker wanted to start small in order to see how this particular car went – they are going to be starting with just about 200 cars throughout the United States as well as Europe and as of early next year, you should be able to lease the beautiful Mercedes-Benz F-Cell.

What is so different about the Mercedes-Benz F-Cell is that it actually uses a 100 kW electric motor that churns out about 214 lb-ft of torque, which is something that many – many cars do not have.  This car actually features a 2.0-liter gas-powered engine inside that will get up to about 60 mph in under 11 seconds, which is awesome!

The best part about the Mercedes-Benz F-Cell?  It can go up to about 86.6 mpg, which is fantastic because gas prices are on the rise again!

Now that the Cash for Clunkers program is out there and people are constantly taking advantage of it – how do you know for sure that your clunker is going to qualify and the car that you are looking at is going to qualify?  To be honest, I have heard quite a few horror stories about people bringing their clunkers all the way up to the dealer and then getting rejected because ‘apparently’ their clunker does not qualify for the program.

This is where you need to get online and do your research.  The government is a fickle thing, we all know that and honestly, you need to make sure that your clunker actually qualifies and the car that you are in the market for actually is in the program and you can get it – there are a lot of different restrictions and you need to make sure that you are within them.

Cash for Clunkers is a fantastic program, however you just need to make sure that you are within the program and can handle all of the restrictions!
