i know you have to have had the car for a year, and from what i've heard they just give you $3K towards buying either a new car or one that's 1 year old

No, car has to be within 3 years old, the newest LS1 F-body is 5, also, cant be used on a vehicle over 25K, so no discount on a C6, maybe be able to snag a GTO though.

lets see i have a 96 Exploder and the tranny is on the way out. sounds like the $3k voucher would work great for me...

find a nice used truck in the Dallas area, and then finance the rest for low $$$. $3k voucher is more than Carmax would give me for the Exploder thats for damn sure...
