AASA Special Report: Unintended Consequences of Accelerated Retirement of Inefficient Vehicles – Supporting Vehicle Sales, Vouchers to Purchase, Replace or Repair Vehicles and Opposing Indiscriminate Scrappage Programs

AASA has issued a “Special Report,” analyzing the serious unintended consequences of proposed vehicle scrappage legislation. Voluntary accelerated vehicle retirement programs would provide an incentive for some consumers but also would prematurely retire some vehicles from the national fleet prior to the end of their useful life. A nationwide program to establish a uniform vehicle inspection program should accompany any program to scrap vehicles to determine which automobiles should be retired and which vehicles can be repaired to operate in the condition originally intended by the vehicle manufacturer. This approach will allow consumers to purchase, replace, or repair a vehicle while insuring safer, cleaner and more fuel efficient operations on the nation’s roads.
