Q: Anyone hear of a car trade in credit from the state of Texas for old cars?
Anyone hear of a credit from the Texas state government for trading in a car older than 1997 for a newer car? I used to hear something advertised but have not heard anything lately. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
A: It is not in all counties of texas just the areas around Houston, DFW, and Austin. If your car is older than ten years, does not pass inspection, and you are poor, then you qualify. Below is the website with details.

Info will be finalized around December. The plan is for individuals living in certain counties (in the Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Houston-Galveston-Brazoria areas) that meet certain low income requirements, that they can apply for vehicle replacement assistance. Their previous vehicle has to have been registered for at least the last 12 months in the participating county, and either have just failed an emission test, or is a vehicle 10 years or older and gasoline powered that had passed a safety/emissions inspection in the last 15 months. If you meet the requirements, you would qualify for vehicle-replacement assistance of:
* $3,000 for a car, current model year or up to three model years old
* $3,000 for a truck, current model year or up to two model years old
* $3,500 for hybrid vehicle, current or previous model year
Q: Does Texas have a three day return period for new cars?
I just closed today on a new car, but I signed for 72 mo when I told them I wanted it fro 60... some states give you three days to return the car.. is Texas one of them? And if so where do I get that information.
A: My cousin used to work as a salesman at dealership in Texas. He always used to tell us that we can return a new car within 30 days. (Texas law.) it could have changed by now, I would go to a different dealership and find out the current laws for returning a car. I'm sure the competition will be glad to enlighten you on the current laws.

Q: this texas cars for kids thing has anyone actually got a car from this company. or donation and what are the r
equirements in order to get a car?
A: I'm here in Texas too and I've never heard of anybody getting a car from these people. I believe the charity takes vehicle donations to sell at an auction to rase money and then let people claim a certin amount on their taxes. I don't think they actually sell the car to the public because they would have to have a dealers license.

Q: Does anyone know anything about the Diminished Value Laws in Texas on cars?
A: There are actually alot of mis-conceptions about this. First of all, any time an item is damaged and repaired, then you will have lost value.
In Texas it is the law that you can recover this loss on an auto if you are the victim of the accident.
An average accident on a regular car (ford, chevy, toyota) will cause an average loss of about $3800. They key is the method of determining the lost value.
If you select a reputable, court approved company to help you determine your Diminished Value, you will be able to collect this.
A Texas based company, Texas Auto Services, is the leader in this field. Visit their website and you will get ALOT of info.
