Cash For Clunkers

[Salvatore]

You really were not suppose to trade them in if they were NOT junk. Don't really know what the reprocussions are or will be but it was suppose to be a shot in the arm for the factories, dealerships, salespeople etc. Also I believe their aim was to get some of the more polluting cars off the streets. This may not have worked for all but I think some of the dealerships around me did fairly good by it. I still kept my clonkers though.

Yes some dealerships did ok with this but all it did was delay what is going to happen in the end
For a lot of them it will be the end
Just wait and see what happens by Dec or better yet Feb of 2010
As for me I will be keeping my Jeeps with the old school inline 6
They may not be the fastest out there but that motor is just plain bullet proof
And most likely will out last me .Mine are all paid off may not get the best mpg
But once you own a 4x4 you will never go back
so me yea I will keep my Clinker
just going to be a bad next year for the new car industry and I feel sorry for all that got suckered
in to this mess. It started out as junk cars only BUT people were trading in really good cars.
So what we will have is a shortage of good used cars WHAT’s WORNG WITH THIS PICTURE

a local dealer is still holding thirty clunkers and waiting for govt. checks.

Even with C-F-C, Chrysler and GM posted declines while Ford had an increase in sales.

Which two out of the three are in turmoil because of taking money from the government?

Like I said before, I wouldn't buy a Chrysler or GM right now either until they can show signs that they will be around 6 months from now.
