NADA Chief Economist Estimates Clunker Cost Per Incremental Vehicle Sold at Around $4,600 Nov 3, 2009 01:30PM

Describes Edmunds.com Clunker Estimate of $24,000 as "Overstated and Misleading" MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- After a thorough review of the Cash for Clunkers program, the chief economist of the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA), Dr. Paul Taylor, determined that the cost of each incremental vehicle sold was around $4,587.
