Some Dealers Stop Taking 'Clunkers'

Some car dealers stopped accepting new vehicles under the U.S. government's "Cash for Clunkers" program Friday because they said they want time to finish processing their paperwork before it shuts down Monday.

The program, which gave consumers vouchers worth up to $4,500 toward the purchase of a new, more fuel-efficient vehicle when they traded in a gas guzzler, has been considered a success by the Obama administration for stimulating the downtrodden auto industry. But the $3 billion program has nearly run out of money since it started a month ago and government officials said they would shut down the effort at 8 p.m. on Monday.
