Subpart D—Replacement of Motor Vehicles

§ 102-34.265   What are motor vehicle replacement standards?

Motor vehicle replacement standards specify the minimum number of years in use or miles traveled at which an executive agency may replace a Government-owned motor vehicle (see §102–34.280) .

§ 102-34.270   May we replace a Government-owned motor vehicle sooner?

Yes. You may replace a Government-owned motor vehicle if it needs body or mechanical repairs that exceed the fair market value of the motor vehicle. Determine the fair market value by adding the current market value of the motor vehicle plus any capitalized motor vehicle additions (such as a utility body or liftgate) or repairs. Your agency head or designee must review the replacement in advance.

§ 102-34.275   May we keep a Government-owned motor vehicle even though the standard permits replacement?

Yes. The replacement standard is a minimum only, and therefore, you may keep a Government-owned motor vehicle longer than shown in §102–34.280 if the motor vehicle can be operated without excessive maintenance costs or substantial reduction in resale value.

§ 102-34.280   How long must we keep a Government-owned motor vehicle?

You must keep a motor vehicle owned or leased by the Government for at least the years or miles shown in the following table:
