Its been a couple years now since cash for clunkers. They scammed a lot of folks into buying cars they could not afford. Now that bubble is gonna burst and flood the matket with used cars because the banks reposes the cars when payments arent made. Just what we need used car values in the toilet along with home values. Our economy is bad enough as it is.
I'm glad to see that at least one fine automobile wasn't destroyed. I can't believe people were trading in Lexus, Mercedes and Jaguar for Kias and Fords!
BRAVO !!!! thanks you !!!!! one american spirit saved !!! there a lot of idiot down there! i can't believe poeple waste there car... for few buck !... i saw. lexus. bmw. corvette. benz. land rover ect be wasted for notting!... this is just a thing too re-enforce the economy !... it's ok for one reason but it's ridicule to waste good looking classic !
Stop wasting fine cars, i have a 1989 Audi and will keep it until it dies, every car made creates new pollution, Just maintain your old car and that will save the environment AND cost you less...
Thats great that this car will not be trashed. It looks amazing for that many miles on it! Looks like it came right out of the factory. Awsome. I would kill myself if I put this car in the Cash for Clunkers program. Why do people even put any Mercedes-Benz vehicles in that dumb program? Idiots.
dont you remember that think where you turn your shitty car in and the government gives you a discount? well thats what they do with the cars you trade in.
yeah it was supposed to be for shitty cars. but apparently the guide lines weren't that strict. i saw like 3 of these videos and the cars had plenty of life left.
id say those cars could have done 10% of their lives.. especially the 1981-89 Mercedes S-klass which could still go twice as long as it probably would have gone.
Dang right thats not a cash for clunkers car! I got a 1989 190e 2.6 same color as yours! I'm keeping that baby! alot history in it, and 190e's are the bomb!!!!
that was a sharp car i had a 92 300 e that was clean as a pin it was a sharp car to with white on white pearl white paint and white leather with crome wheels but i blew it up running from the cops good thing was the cops did not catch me but i still lost my car bc of them rat bastards fucking crooked asss government
you mean you won't have a priapic redneck a-whoopin and a-hollerin in adolescent excitement in some junkyard as this alien *four-cylinder* car seemingly from another universe is banged needlesssly against its limiter as another christ knows how much pollution ends up in the air and in the drains until the engine explodes into lots of parts and the redneck comes in his pants? Say it isn't so
it doesnt qualify because it doesnt get "terrible" gas mileage, as if that was a good reason to destroy a car that gets poor gas mileage (as if a difference between 16 and 22mpg makes up for wasting an entire car) but is otherwise in great running condition.
Amen to that brother...Obama is not in his right mind....This video literally brought a tear of joy to my eyes...What a beautiful car...and even better is the smack to the governments face... Hope it leaves a black eye :)
I saw a ton of videos of them destroying nice vehicles with nothing wrong with them. All because people are materialistic and our government wanted to profit off it it. If this program was to have any benefit they should have taken the cars and given them to people whose only excuse for not having a job is they need a car so they can go to work ! Obama is a nut. LOL
Not sure how I feel about Ron Paul cause he doesnt get much press around here but he said something that was so true. The economy failed because people dont know how to budget their own money and buy things they know they cant afford driving them into debt. But pride makes them blame Bush or whatever. And blaming Capitalism? Isnt cash for clunkers capitalism? No one forced anyone to buy what they wanted anyways.
Seriously, I work at a dealership, and some of the vehicles I have disabled are in realy good condition, and could be put to good use, but instead are just destroyed.
I miss my ol' 190e.... It was a great car. It had over 300,000 miles when I sold it. I would love to find another one with low miles. Glad Obama's senseless c4c didn't get to waste this one.
Wow this is an exceptional video. The same could be said for thousands of other cars too. Thank god I don't live in the US and my cars will be with me until They die on their own or by wearing out not by deliberately destroying them.
It's too bad my car didn't qualify. It's a 2004 Chevy Malibu. It actually clunks when you go over bumps or turn the steering wheel. A true clunker. I wouldn't mine seeing this dog crushed.
The worst part on all this is learning that there are technologies that could perfectly improve the mpg of the car by just switching it to ethanol. One that comes to mind is this conversion system called onehourflex from Brazil if I´m not mistaken
Couldn't agree more. Its stupid enough for the government to spend taxpayer dollars to fund people who cannot afford a car because of laziness, and even worse to destroy the engines of perfectly good cars, only because they get less than 18 mpg.
my dakota r/t will have its original BRAKE PADS and battery among many other "maintenance parts" last until over 100,000 miles i have 88,000 now. The truck will be running BRAND NEW like my car by the time I reach 250,000 miles.The average car is half worn to hell by 100,000 miles.
CfC is one of the most wasteful programs. Destroying useful vehicles that could be used to drive to work when they get a job. Many do not have the money to buy a new car.
The Millionaires have taken over in Washington & don't give a D about the average working class American in this country.
Is Your car gas or diesel. They were not taking diesels in that wasteful program.
I would like to know who thought up this idea & led the charge to push it through?
Cool, I am glad people are posting these type of videos, people need to know the truth about the Evil program cash for clunkers. I love my Clunker and I am not parting with it.
this is a diessle mercedes so this car would not be waste or destroy because this car consider to be a vintage and diessle mercedes last longer than regular gas mercedes.
I've got a '96 explorer I'm sure those bastards would love to get their hands on but this program cemented my resolve to keep it running till doomsday.
This program hurts the poor and the environment. If they wanted to waste money so bad why couldn't they have just made a bonfire with it and at least not destroyed perfectly good equipment.
They're good cars aren't they? Seems to me the main reason that they're the most traded vehicle is just that they're reliable and most have lasted this long. I'll take reliability over a few extra mpg any-day.
I figured the reason was because there are so many of them out there, that they would go to the top of the statistic just due to that. also, i think its because they were so trendy in the '90s, all the "trendy" shallow idiots bought them to be trendy, now they all want hybrids and other fuel "sippers" because that is the trendy thing now.
I got mine for $700, 4 years ago (it had been overheated and had cracked heads) i replaced the heads and it has been 100% reliable since. most reliable car ever. it has 200k miles on it, i've put on 50k since owning it, and all i've done is change the oil and brake pads.
So many car owners lost their objectivity by destroying their Broncos, minivans and in one case, a Volvo S80 turbo. When I saw a Mercedes 300E being readied for the crusher, I had to speak out.
not only are the destroying useful cars, they are also destroying classic cars, or at the least almost classic cars. cars that will reach classic status in a few more years. an example would include my very clean, rust free 1989 camaro. i have even seen them destroy a nice late 80's L98 corvette. i would love to have a corvette. i have seen monte carlos, the last RWD monte GM made as a cash for clunkers. i have also seen caprices, trans ams, and fox body mustangs. these are wonderful cars people
WHAAT?!?! someone wasted an L98 CORVETTE on this dumb program????? those cars are hot-rod classics.i cant believe these mindless obama-loving sheep!!!
Half a million miles? Wow! That's the right way to treat a car: good maintenance, intelligent and careful use and an eye toward automotive history. Otherwise, given today's sky high car payments, you'll never own anything else.
Sweet ride man, keep her alive for 20+ years to come! I despise the Cash for Clunkers plan because largely its a waste of perfectly good used running cars, which could've been resold. Its a sad and pointless waste.
I love my cars to death. If the government was worried about the environment so damn bad, give people $4,500 to make their current cars fuel efficient. If they want to opt out to get a new car, so be it. But the running cars should have been resold; not destroyed. Sad.
yo dude in the video, you said it all. you are right kiddo. keep that car. these assholes get their kicks blowing up fairly new cars . wait they will regret this once used cars are expensive to buy. obama blows for president.
my 1989 camaro DOES qaulify. HOWEVER it will not be destroyed either. its materials NOR energy USED to create her will NOT be wasted. HER 350 ENGINE will not be siezed. IT has 175K miles and will be continued to be driven, summer months only. FEDERAL TAXES WILL NOT BE USED TO HELP ME BUY ANOTHER CAR, THE ONE I HAVE IS PERECTLY FINE>>>>>thank you MR.
