Not to mention were those "discounts" come from, the tax payer. You don't grow an economy by taking money from people, giving it to other people so they buy what you want them to buy at the additional expense of other industries while also driving up the prices of used cars and parts.
You'll notice we're not doing this anymore, right? Because it was obvious cash for clunkers a net failure!
How much do you guys want for it? We can fix it, that happened to a Ferrari California last year, it's a result of a flood damage. The owner must have not told the insurance companies. Rip everything out and clean and spray!
Spare parts would be worth more than the trade-in - especially that interior. Bozo who traded it probably had more $ than active functioning braincells.
So much waste. So many stupid programs - so many stupid people - should give them all a bicycle - that's about all I'd trust them with.
All cash for clunkers did was artificially inflate the price of used cars... along with taking cars away from people who cant afford a new one... Only an idiot would come up with a program like that.
stupid fucking news station. say hwo dumb it is by masking your words. just fucking tell the viewers straight up. this was the most fucking retarded thing since the hummer
We need a conservative president... desperately. Mitt Romney is the Republican party's only chance. Ron Paul, although a good option, has no chance of winning; same thing with New Gingrich. They both would make great presidents, and I personally think Gingrich would be best. There's just not much of a point in voting for anyone but Romney though; he's the only one with a chance against Obama. ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN OBAMA!
Maseratis today aren't the same as the POS cars they used to be in the 80's. Unreliable, etc. Maserati spend over a decade to allow their reputation to recover from the cars they built in the 80's. Sucks that it had to be crushed. Maybe a museum, or to a collector would be better, but I don't feel too bad. That thing wasn't worth more than what the Cash for clunkers would pay for it anyways.
cash for clunkers blows why don't you get off your fat ass and try to fix them. i dont understand there are these nice antique old cars that look nice yet you blow them up?
that fucken explorer couldnt have been a poor families car, thumbs up if u think mostly all used cars can have their uses for almost ten years or over ten years more
Well, if they really destroyed all those shitty pickups and SUVs, and that 1 maserati was the price we had to pay, it was worth it. The world is now a better place
WTF: that is an UNCONSTITUTIONAL illegal NWO mandate -- it holds not enforceability, if challenged in the Courts. That you would CRUSH such a labor intensive masterpiece is utterly insane .... part of an engineered ERASURE of humanity as per the UN's Agenda 21 and REX 84. Motherf_ckers! You guys need to go to your local Law School and form a coalition against this A 'bomination national-pride-suicidal mayhem.
That's so sad...but hey if a car's that unreliable at just 18,000 miles.....well.....all the wood and uniqueness doesn't mean s**t when it won't run right.
Put it in a museum, or put a new engine in it, it was worth way more in parts then its scrap value, or even the 3500 for cash for clunkers, besides I thought they said on the radio that the dealership would not take it due to the rareity of the car.
I have only seen one in 14 years at the auburn labor day auction down the road, and it used to by lenth and volume of cars sold be the worlds largest collector car auction under Kruse before he lost his licence the largest in the friken world.
@yellowmusicfreak You have to understand that Italian cars break down about every 500 miles on average and you also have to understand that there's more soul in a single lug nut on that Maserati that there is in a thousand corollas or priuses.
A Maserati for a Subaru?! I love our new Forester, but this is about the most retarded thing I have ever seen! Americans get dumber and dumber every day, it about makes me sick to think our country is like this.
Can some of those smartasscashforclunker morons can answer me how many of todays precious, meitculously restored and admired oldtimers were clunkers at one or more points of their lives??? I bet it's over 60%. And this one? It's only the engine problem, JFG (just f$#$% google) a replacement engine and thats it. It's not Yugo, It's Maserati FFS.
actually 30,000 for a old maseratti is good money you know... plus the you never know how much that owner had to pay for the mecanic... probably adds up to 50,000 or sometihng
That's like the WORST Maserati ever made. No great loss. At $3500 nobody wanted to buy it anyway, but the gov't gave it to him under the program. Yeah, the program sucks, but then again so does that Maserati!
Cash for clunkers is like that jack off who wont give you his tater tots at lunch but then just throws them away anyway!! This country is in deep shit! that chimp in the "WHITE"house needs to either figure it out or get the fuck out!!
@twistedLs1 Hey don't get your suspenders in a knot because you can't have these beauts in your driveway like all your other hillbilly brethren. This was a successful program that stimulated the demand for buying new cars. It also made a significant dent in the reduction of C02 emissions that these cars would otherwise be producing while on the road. It's ok that dumb fucks like you won't understand.
@177SCmaro I respect and like Stacey David, but I think he has a bias that would normally come from a classic car and truck enthusiast. He insinuates that society is losing out on cheap reliable transportation, but this is based on his definition of what is reliable. Most of the owners decided that these cars were not reliable, and made the rational decision to give them up for a newer car.
@177SCmaro Similarly, the used car market and aftermarket, which Stacey points out is a huge industry, is not as large in generating revenue as the new car industry. Selling parts and accessories in the aftermarket rests on the assumption that people want to keep their cars in tip top shape. Not everybody is a car enthusiast like this small minority that Stacey is basing his argument on. Not to mention that these same items are being sold for non-clunkers, and new cars as well.
@177SCmaro And, finally, people aren't being forced to participate in this program. People make rational choices, especially those who need cheap reliable transportation, and they saw a good opportunity to get a huge discount on a newer car by getting rid of something that little to no value to them. Sure they could've put the car on the used car circuit and wait months, maybe years to sell them to the right buyer, but the instant return on their investment was a better choice.
@lickmyfart I cannot express in enough words how very wrong you are.
You make an incredible number of assumptions here. Everything from accusing Stacey and his show, producers, etc. of being biased, to what most owners decide, all while totally ignoring the insane waste of resources and energy going on here with this program.
Apparently you find an artificial, temporary rise in new cars sales at the expense of dozens if not hundreds of other industries as fine and dandy?
I'd have liked to have seen them crush it, just for fun. At the end of the day, apart from racecars, they're all just tin boxes with a wheel on each corner. Some are just more expensive than others.
It's a shame about the Biturbo, but it's prolly the WORST of the Maseratis. It's not like they're crushing a Maserati Merak, Quattroporte or Bora. Cash for Clunkers is GAY... all running cars wasted. DUMB.
I went to a Chevy dealership to get some parts to further restore my 93 Caprice, and they told me to get rid of it and get one of their P.O.S small cars, FUCK DAT SHIT!..I told them until Checy starts making REAL cars again that are as good as their Trucks, I will consider buying a new ride..until then, i'm driving this to either when the wheels fall off or there is no more parts made/left for this car!
well the program was used to "stimulate" the penis of our, the USA's floppy economy. Though ironical and somewhat demonstrated on this video. USA didn't benefit much from the program... japan did :). billionsof dollars once again when to japan's economy not americas. THANKS OBAMA
