Public Notices spacer spacer spacer spacer graphic Vehicle Buy Back Program Information To reduce air pollution, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District's (Air District) Vehicle Buy Back Program (VBB) will pay $650 for an operating and registered 1987 and older vehicle. Vehicle dismantlers contracted by the Air District will scrap the vehicles. The VBB Program is a voluntary program that takes older vehicles off the road. The VBB Program is funded through the Air District's Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA). For your vehicle to be eligible for the VBB Program, it must meet the Vehicle Status Requirements and the Vehicle Functional and Equipment Eligibility Inspection described below. If you think that your vehicle qualifies, call an Air District vehicle dismantler to schedule an appointment to sell your vehicle to the Program. The dismantler will verify your vehicles eligibility and provide you with the specific locations of their sites. The Air District includes all of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties, and the southern portions of Solano and Sonoma counties. Smog Checks must be performed as required by the DMV in order for the vehicle to be considered registered. A vehicle may also be eligible if the registration has lapsed for less than one-hundred-and-eighty-one (181) days during the previous twenty-four (24) months and all appropriate registration fees and late penalties have been paid to the DMV, provided that the vehicle is registered for at least ninety (90) days immediately prior to its date of sale to the VBB Program. But, if the Smog Check Inspection is performed in this sixty-one to ninety (61-90) day time frame, the vehicle must pass the inspection. Owners of vehicles requiring Smog Check Inspections will be required to submit documentation issued by a licensed Smog Check station demonstrating compliance with this requirement. The documentation must be submitted to the vehicle dismantler performing the functional and equipment eligibility inspection. If DMV registration data provide inconclusive results for an individual vehicle, then copies of the applicable vehicle registration certificate may be used. Vehicle Functional and Equipment Eligibility Inspection: The vehicle dismantler will only purchase your vehicle for the Vehicle Buy Back Program if it meets the following requirements: 1 The vehicle must have been driven to the dismantler site under its own power. G The vehicle must have one bumper and all side and/or quarter panels shall be present and in place. Vehicle drivability must not be affected by any body, steering or suspension damage. H One headlight, one taillight and one brake light shall be present and in place. In addition to the keyed ignition switch, ignition or fuel kill switch may be activated if required to start engine. The vehicle must start readily through ordinary means without the use of starting fluids or external booster batteries. The vehicle shall be driven forward for a minimum of 25 feet under its own power. The vehicle shall be driven in reverse for a minimum of 25 feet under its own power. Upon satisfactory completion of the inspection, the vehicle dismantler will issue a certificate of functional and equipment eligibility.
