NHTSA personnel and contractors
use PII about individual
car buyers / lessees and sole proprietor salvage auctions and disposal facilities to: (1) determine if individual transactions satisfy
CARS program requirements; (2)
send information about eligible transactions to a DOT financial management system to process vouchers and cause dealers to be paid by DOT / NHTSA for eligible transactions; (3) compare dealer - entered information in the
CARS Database System to purchaser and transactional information already within the system to ensure compliance with program requirements and for audit purposes; (4) confirm proper disposal of trade - in vehicles; and (5) prevent, identify, and investigate program violations and fraud.
Navigation is a stand - alone option, which many
buyers may appreciate, although including Audi Connect allows searches
using Google Earth, providing realistic terrain imagery, as well as the ability to
send destinations from any browser directly to the
car.
