american autos are crap when they are new,poor quality,poor design,old technology,production geared toward profit only,not longivity,overpaid management/workers with no foresight to automotive trends. they still cannot build a car as good as a 20 yr old corrola.
1 thing i do not like about the program was that you could buy a new foreign vehicle. Whose does that help when you buy foreign? The number one selling car from this was the totyota corola, who does this help? The japenese.
There should of been a rule saying only cars that are American made, & the head of the company is in the states can qualify, would of helped the economy.
there should of also been a rule that states that the car has to be in poor condition, look at how many nice cars are gone
the reason they kill engine not only to prevent resale but it prevent people from stealing them. I've watch cops during the program and people been arested for stealing tires of the dead clunkers even though it was cashed for clunker, and I would say to the Police, "OOHOOO!!these cars are dead and there going to Destroy them so I thought that I would take parts!!! "
The fault lays with the automotive industry: A bunch of idiots going: "If it ain't broken, don't fix it." In Europe we've always had to think gas mileage as our politicians needs to tax everything in absurdum. The typical car in today's Europe in a small car with a TDI engine in it. New legislation has given environmentally responsible vehicles tax benefits. Many of us have been shaking our heads over this hysteria with more and more cylinders, more and more badass. Any lessons learned?
I have been scouring youtube to see how cash for clunkers has been affecting viewers on here and what kind of destruction the program is bringing. This is one of the best videos on it. I really like the footage from other lands. I visited a third world country, and many people would be happy to be able to own a car like this, even if the gas mileage weren't great. I like the point about the whole consumerism and the landfill. How awful for the environment, yet touted as a good thing for it
also you can buy a fuel efficient car for CHEAP without buying a new car. i have a 91 cavalier as a second vehicle. it has an easy to service and reliable 2.2L TBI engine. it rated at 21/29 MPG and even though it has some miles on it, its still gets damn close to that. new cars are a terrible investment, which is why people werent buying until this awful freebie. didn't you watch this video?? i still dont think my taxes should be used for this purpose either.
And I don't think stupid people should be rewarded for breeding. Again there will still be used cars, there is no way that they will get rid of them all.
its going to affect the market price of them. im sure the USED car business and the auto mechanics that work on older models will THANK HIM AS WELL. i dont want the government giving my tax money to anyone, either to have kids or buy a new piece of shit to put in their driveway(THAT THEY DONT NEED). i'll say it again dumbass, some of these people SHOULD NOT be buying new cars anyways. their will be defaults. AUTO BUBBLE IS COMING. EASY LOANS TO PEOPLE THAT CANNOT AFFORD THEM
Zionism explains this crazy shit as well as any other one.
read The Protocols of Zion and get innoculated against lies forever since it,s a lot easier to understand lies the truth in a Bible thas has a copyright proving it was edited by some media mogul
I believe the Hidden Plan is to make the poor ride bicycles, yeah right, poor mothers with children who could only afford clunkers may not find them in the future. Older cars were business for mechanics to repair and good paying business now this will end their jobs. More Americans will be unemployed. No older cars to fix. If unemployed, lost their homes or poor will they be able to finance a new car, heck no.
Yes I did. What? The dealers are mad that they can't re-sell these junk cars and make a double dipping profit. Obama is giving money to Americans! I would have loved the 4,500 in trade, I only got 200$ for my trade in junk 5 years ago.
i guess your kind of nieve?? obama is opening his personal wallet and giving you $4,500, oh well i'll just have to line up to get my "share". dumbass, you and every other taxpayer are going to have pay for this bullshit destruction of wealth(cars that have life left and that are payed for are wealth). this program is discusting and you arent too bright for thinking its "free money".
You can't even spell, assclown, and you want to debate me? I would rather see money circulating back to the people than go overseas, so yeah I support it. There will still be plenty of junk cars around to buy; this is just one small step to getting cleaner more fuel efficient cars on the roads, and eventually it will contribute to the decrease in price of the electric cars coming out on the market. You have to have vision, not a narrow mind to understand the concept.
and you cant see through the bullshit. many of these vehicles HAVE NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM, and your paying to have them destroyed assclown. people are taking on debt that they dont need and cannot afford
The clunkers are not fuel efficient (that is what's wrong with them) and more than likely have bad emissions.The intention is to get people into vehicles that have better fuel efficiency, that are less of a burden on the enviroment. Another reason is so that Americans can decrease their dependency on oil, specifically Middle Eastern oil, you are the dumbest fucktard on here.
blah, blah, blah. what about all of the people that just took car loans out that cannot afford them. stop watching the "news", its all one sided crap and mostly lies. what about poor people that cannot afford a new car or shouldn't be buying a new car, i guess that have to walk??? how is that fair? not to mention this is terribly wasteful. it takes more energy to make a new car than it does to keep an existing one running. it takes 20+ barrels of oil to make 1 new car
1. Car companies are not going to stop manufacturing cars, and manufacturing cars generates jobs, money, and stimulates the economy 2. where does it say, that you have to turn in your clunker, it's an option stupid 3. There will still be plenty of used cars, not everyone in the U.S. is going to turn their clunkers in , again it's an option, it's like a tax credit. The poor still have to walk, how many can afford car insurance. If anything you should be griping about those rip off artists.
many people that arent all that well off can afford a 1,500-2,000 car but cannot afford or should not be buying a new car. i am one of those people, im buying a house soon. i prefer to drive cars that i can buy for cheap and repair myself. older cars can be serviced with a good basic set of tools. you simply cannot service a newer car unless you have special knowledge and tools. i rebuilt a 350 small block in my garage, i have never rebuilt a car engine before, it runs great
What don't you get, people are not being forced to turn in their old cars, there are a lot of people with antique cars that are not going to turn them in. It's an option, a tax credit to those who want to drive a more fuel efficient car, it also stimulates the economy like a round robin. Money goes to consumer, consumer buys product, dealer ship stays open, jobs continue. It's called investing in your country! You can keep your muscle car no ones going to take it away!
no one is going to take it away yet!!! dont worry its probably coming, over my dead body. even if you just need transportation some of these vehicles that are being destroyed are still really nice. how about a 1990 crown vic, 5,000 original miles to be destroyed. how about a 1992 chevy caprice LT1 65K miles. clearly these are old but not clunkers. its kinda like robin hood. except this robs from the poor and give to the rich. round robin, lol.
Now you sound like a paranoid wack job, no the Russians aren't coming. I suppose you think it's okay for the government to give tax credits to those who plop out kids, takes no real skill there. I would like to see them work out the kinks and keep this program going intill the economy stabalizes. I am sure there are dealeships around the country that are thanking them for the steady flow of business. Again there will still be used cars around.
i want it to end NOW. "if our consumerism has risen to the level of automobile WE DESERVE TO FAIL". i would be thrilled if the government came out and said we will give this program NO MORE MONEY. its going to go down as one of the worst wastes is AMERICAN HISTORY. IT TAKES APPROX 20 BARRELS OF OIL TO BUILD A NEW CAR(THAT WILL NOT LAST AS LONG AS THE OLD CAR, I WILL ADD)
i like arguing with you, its so much fun. watch the damn, video. it explains what is so bad about this "program". but i guess your too dense to understand it, or maybe just brainwashed by the government and mass media.
I watched the video already, and it never changed my views. I understand the concept of the program. I'm not the one who is acting like chicken little, paranoid schiz head. I don't watch mass media, I read. The concept for this program was originally introduced in Germany, however it did not work, because the cars were not destroyed. Read some more about history and economics then get back to me.
im not falling for this shit. i will be keeping my 91 cavalier, i guess now i have to keep it forever since im going to have a hard time finding a clean vehicle to replace it when it finally does rust out(its clean now but i live in buffalo, ny). i guess you also dont care about the private family run used car lots? as a result of this program many of them will close, and then these poor guys will be flipping burgers and mcdonalds.
Who knows maybe those small used car lots can get cash for clunkers too, keep your shit I don't care, but I want to be able to participate myself in couple years and get rid of one of my gas hogs.
Here the cars were destroyed! And people bought foreign cars and it severely harmed the American economy because most of the cars that were smashed were American cars! This program truely put the economy in dire shit! We gave money that we didn't really have to people who traded in these vehicles!
Invest in your country? well, that would be nice, except the ignorant masses participating in this program are mostly buying foreign cars. Yeah Yeah It's a global economy and they're made in the states, but you're still ultimately sending money to large conglomerates based in foreign lands. Trade your Caddilac for a Camry and some guy in Tokyo's getting a christmas bonus!
I know people are saying these foreign cars are built here in the states, but who OWN'S the actual car companies who have the top selling cars in this CFC program? We American's? Noooo; the Japanese. Toyota and Honda both are headquartered in Japan.
You're right, someone in Tokyo will have a damn great Christmas this year! This is year of the Camry O.o
and im glad that you approve of yours, your child's and maybe even grandchildren's money being spent on this huge waste of resources. im sorry but i think this program sucks. if someone wants to drive an old caprice, its their choice. some of those cars are built better than the garbage they make today. im keeping my 89 camaro with its 5.7L v8, enjoy the fumes 'cause i dont give a shit what you think.
a lot of the cars that were destroyed my dad could've used.....but thanks to this Shit for Clunkers program, my dad couldn't even get to work because everyone who was selling their cars to other people, had them smashed.
