We've loaded a few... very, VERY slow.

 

[jj14268]

wonder if they'll extend the time....

 

[Deb]

Automotive news just sent out that they've extended the deadline to noon on Tuesday due to "hours of computer problems hamper deadline filings"

 

[jj14268]

great news, Deb!!! I wonder if it's true..

 

[Mindy]

Let's hope they get the system up and running by then... I have three to submit and keep getting the message "the application is not available.... " Anyone experiencing this also?

 

[jj14268]

yeah, sometimes, also, that they are expanding the bandwidth and to try back later.

As just reported on Fox news as well:
WASHINGTON - Auto dealers will get more time to submit their Cash for Clunkers deals to the government for repayment after the Department of Transportation extended the deadline for filing claims.

Dealers will now have until noon Tuesday to file the paperwork they need to get repaid for the Cash for Clunkers credits of up to $4,500.

The Transportation Department says the extension is due to an overwhelming demand on the computer system set up to handle the claims. The Web site was shut down temporarily Monday afternoon because of the overload.

The deadline of 8 p.m. EDT Monday still stands for the end of all Cash for Clunkers sales.
