Ford has shifted into high gear to attract consumers with its own ``cash for clunkers'' program.
If you have a vehicle 15 years or older, you can get up to three thousand dollars towards a new Ford by recycling the old vehicle.
The programs starts today and runs until November 2nd.
Under the Ford "Recycle Your Ride" program, motorists who scrap registered and insured autos that are 15 years or older would qualify for $1,000 toward the purchase of a new car or compact truck; $2,000 for a crossover or sport utility vehicle and $3,000 for a bigger pickup or Lincoln luxury model.
Furthermore, Ford said its offer is retroactively available to about 14,000 motorists who have taken advantage of the federal program since February.
