Print More

A newspaper analysis shows New Hampshire car dealers are to receive over $23 million in rebates under the Cash for Clunkers program, the highest per capita benefit of any state.

Peter McNamara, president of the New Hampshire Automobile Dealers Association, estimated about 5,360 cars were sold in the state through the program.

In its analysis, the New Hampshire Union Leader said the state’s share of the $2.88 billion in claims nationally came to $17.51 per person.

Rebates were available for $3,500 or $4,500, depending on the gain in miles per gallon with the new vehicle.
