Carm,
Chrysler will double your cash. Possibly. The amount you'll actually get on top of the clunker rebate depends on the model. For example, trade your clunker for a Jeep Patriot and you'll only get $3500 in the northeast. 'course, you'll get that same $3500 even if you don't have a clinker to trade in for the new vehicle.
The ads make it seem like you'll double the clinkers rebate and that's not necessarily the case. Some people even think you'll get the clunkers rebate, an amount that matches it _and_ an additional cash incentive. I saw someone arguing that at a Jeep dealership two days ago. The ad is that misleading!
My experience at that Jeep dealership soured me so much that I refuse to set foot in that particular dealership again in the future. For what it's worth, the wait times to talk to a salesperson are horrible, the staff forget you're there even though you constantly remind them of your presence and although they offer free access to the Internet for customers, they do it via connecting a Mac Mini to an LCD TV making Windows the primary OS of the computer. The nerve!
