INTRODUCTION
Program: 2009 U.S. “Cash - for - Clunkers”
Encourage to retire old and lower MPG vehicle and purchase higher
MPG vehicle
Duration:
July and August 2009
Objective:
Stimulate U.S. Economy
Put more fuel-efficient cars on the road
Incentive:
$3,500 or $4,500 credit
KEY DATA
• Duration:
• 30 days
• Number of Trade-In Vehicles:
• 677,984
• Government spent (incentives):
• $2.8 Billion
• Total sales (MSRP) of New Vehicles:
• $15 Billion (14.42 trillion GDP in 2009) (0.1%GDP)
• National Coverage:
• 55 Areas (50 States + 1 District + 4 Insular areas)
QUESTION
Identify the 10 most successful states and the 10 least
successful states.
Study the trade-in behavior of west coast consumers
against consumers from other areas.
Study the behavioral patterns of consumers purchasing
new vehicles.
Evaluate the conclusion “wildly successful” from
government.
METHODOLOGY
• Step 1: calculate the average MPG of trade-in vehicles in each state
(MPG-old)
• Step 2: calculate the average MPG of new vehicles in each state
(MPG-new )
• Step 3: calculate the MPG % increase.
(MPG-new – MPG-old) / MPG-old
• Step 4: sum the total trade-in vehicles in each state
• Step 5: get the total number of registered vehicles in each state (census.gov)
• Step 6: calculate the trade-in coverage ratio in each state
number of trade-in vehicles/ registered vehicles
eg: California
MPG % increase = 66%
Trade-in coverage ratio = 0.22%
Data Point of California CA(66%, 0.22%)

EVALUATE THE CONCLUSION
“WILDLY SUCCESSFUL”
EVALUATE
• Government Perspective
• Number of trade-in vehicles
• Program duration
• Survey
• Sample size (21% response)
• Insignificant level
• Question Design
• Incremental sales even without program
• 12% will still purchase vehicles
• Held off purchase in June 2009
• Disposed trade-in vehicles
• Good condition vehicles will be destroyed
• Wheel or tires can’t be reused
• 2 of the top 3 new vehicles are Japanese brands
• Macroeconomic
• GDP
• Unemployment Rate
Purchase Motivation
National Brand Protection
Wasteful Resources
Not a Robust Survey
