Eco Auto Rebate Program: Dead or Alive?
« on: July 22, 2008, 12:27:59 pm »
I just saw an advert for a Toyota Yaris, indicating its new starting price for 2008 (under $14,000).  In addition to that, the ad pointed out that the car was eligible for a $1,000 rebate from the federal government by way of something called the "Eco Auto" program.

Wasn't that the program started and then stopped by the Harper government last year? :think:

Is this a new version of the same program?

It is still going, but the 2008 model year is the last:
