I'm glad this program died a slow horrible death just like all those perfectly good vehicles that were scrapped and destroyed for no reason at all by even bigger morons that traded those cars in for a new piece of shit that will be nothing but a giant lemon in 3 years time. Then they will think back and say "Oh, why didn't I keep my old car?!?" while they are stranded on the roadside in the pouring rain.
You all think that is bad my dumb ass friend sold his 1979 chevy camaro berlinetta to a junk yard for 400 dollars all because it had a rod knock it had a 350 small block bored 30 over. To top that off his dipshit brother has a 1977 firebird with a 403 purrs like a kitten and it is just sitting in the front yard rusting away.
@ThePatriotsfan01 O thats horrible! I'll take the bird if he doesn't want it! I'm looking at an 83 trans am. Whoever had it really let it go. I might get it and fix it up.
You're a bunch of fucking faggot ass retards who are trading your sweet old cars for that shitty program.. If you sold a cutlass to someone in Norway you would get at least 17.000 Dollars for it...
I drive a 72 IHC 3/4 ton Travelall 4x4 in mint condition. Been driving it since the day it was NEW. has over 300K on it. And will keep driving it untill I can no longer get parts or i die..Whichever comes first.. And oh yea.. It only gets 10MPG or less.. And I dont give a crap.. They dont make 4x4s like that anymore.. And its got a industrial grade gas engine in it also.. Same one used in farm equipent and med duty trucks.
This program was like, I give you a $100 for you $50. This government needs to go back to school. Who in there right mind would pay $4500 for a piece of shit car so a person can get credit towards a new one. Obama would
You see what a WASTE this program is? My Alcoholic, Crack Head neighbors, who are Already on EVERY kind of Gov’t Handout could’ve used a NICE, BIG CLUNKER to Drive around in so They’d be SAFE when they run into something. I’m SURPRISED the Pres. Didn’t think of this; These are His “Peeps”.
My grandma heard about this scam and tried to tell my mom to sell off our 93 Chevy suburban with 445K on the origional motor and giving us about 15 years of reliable survice just running perfectally fine for a "Prius." I told her that if we need a new motor we can just get a crate motor and referbish it or do an overhaul and make it a diesel. Then I had to tell her a prius cant pull someone out of a ditch or make it over the terrain we live around.
History: During the '74 and '79 gas crunches, people dumped hundreds of thousands of late '60's-early '70's V8 muscle cars. (You could barely give them away back then.) Most got parted out, sent to the crusher or rusted away in salvage yards. The ones whose owners squirreled them away in heated garages or have been restored are the ones you see being auctioned at Barrett-Jackson and in Hemmings with high-five and six-figure pricetags.
it's funny how the program ran out of money in just a week... dumb people who couldn't afford payments on a new car were suckered into a $15-50,000 car loan when their slightly older, still running and reliable car was a much cheaper decision. therefore there is more DEBT being forced into the US "economy". so trade-in your orignal and cheaper to own car under the illusion that gasoline is the NUMBER ONE cost of owning vehicles. And of course these people mostly bought foreign cars...
@Obsoliit Or you could be smart, trade in a car on its last legs and get a cheap fuel efficient car. i think that is what this program intended to do. I traded my 98 ford explorer (the most traded in vehicle under cfc and also gets a whopping 16mpg) with 200,000miles and purchased a 2009 Lancer that gets 32mpg (i get 40 with it) for 10k flat and the money i save in gas and insurance is like i traded off even for a brand new car. I think this program was brilliant in thought executed poorly.
@Obsoliit Also, half the foreign cars people buy are manufactured here. GM builds cars in Mexico. Gasoline isn't the only major cost with old cars, its maintenance and life support, an issue new cars do not have.
Sadly we have a similar scheme in Britain, where it's known as scrappage. What a complete and utter waste of resources. All it does is benefit the Korean Motor industry, get peopooe talking out loans they can't afford and means a lot of really well looked after used vehicles have been taken out of the market, leaving only the rubbish. Classic cars have also been scrapped!
Cash for clunkers is wrong.Destroying good cars that are made of steel not damn plastic toys they make now and call them cars.Obama i do not trust and didn't vote for him either hope all you Obama lovers get a gut full of his green tree hugging crap??Wow to think forced health care it scares me what they will do??
Well I guess it's apparent a month later what a bunch of fools these people are. It's Friday, Aug. 21 and the C4C's is being cancelled--but maybe Monday it'll be re-started again, who knows. I don't think a single dealer here in Waco has gotten a single payment--one has made 50 deals with no remittance--that's his fault. So far it hasn't cost the government a cent because most haven't been reimbursed. I hope all the people crazy for government health care take a lesson from this.
This is bad- the parts of the clunkers cannot even be saved from what I understand it all must be scraped. This is what will happen to people under "Obama care"..
I clicked on this link because I saw the Oldsmobile and it freaked me out for a minute. Those inbred bastards better not crush any classics. This is an automobile holocaust. Disgusting!
This is the most evil thing I have ever seen in my life. Sign up for government health care and you will get the same thing when you get old. They will just do it with intravenous potassium chloride.
Obama is the hitler to the car industry. Government needs to stay the hell out of the American people's lives. Liberals fuck up everything. They are worthless oxygen thieves and produce nothing for society. I say open range to shooting liberals!
That is a horrible analogy. Obama is a puppet, Adolf Hitler was a leader. A man who spoke with great passion. Hitler was never bought and sold like like Obama, the scum-bag political puppet. Please do not re-write history with comments of ignorance. I too am a car lover, but there is a time to call on one's bull-shit. This has nothing to do with jews or white supremacey.
Rediculos! Obama's admin needs to go! This is the worst program yet, and just wait till he gets ahold of healthcare. He'll be pouring the sodium silicate down the old people's throats to lock them up too.
everyone got nervous when they saw the 72 oldsmobile cutlass supreme thank god its not 35 years and older for cash for clunkers i just wiped the sweat of my head !!!!!!!
