WASHINGTON (AP) - Auto dealers will get more time to submit
their Cash for Clunkers deals to the government for repayment after
the Department of Transportation extended the deadline for filing
claims.
Dealers will now have until noon Tuesday to file the paperwork
they need to get repaid for the Cash for Clunkers credits of up to
$4,500.
The Transportation Department says the extension is due to an
overwhelming demand on the computer system set up to handle the
claims. The Web site was shut down temporarily Monday afternoon
because of the overload.
The deadline of 8 p.m. EDT Monday still stands for the end of
all Cash for Clunkers sales.
