Syclone CLUNKER how sad

[JK98SS]

Now this is killing me. At a local Ford dealership, a 97 Camaro SS, and 99 Firebird Formula were traded in as clunkers.

Do they get the $4500 on top of the trade in value toward a new vehicle, or is it just the $4500?

I believe they only get $4500. Since the car can't be resold and the engine will be turned into a useless metal block, that's all the (misinformed) owner gets.

If you miss a premium or get sick do they pay your family $4500 and crush you into a block

I think you are entitles to $3500/$4500 plus the dealers best estimate of the scrap value of the car -$50 administative fee.

It has me wondering, if you could get the $3500/$4500 and then not accept the scap value and get the car back after the engine has been killed?

Here is an example of an Audi which has a very high value in the sum of it's parts. Has anyone heard of such a thing?

[Kim_Howie]

Carl, I didn't find that part in the bill yet.

I am trying to save the Syclone at this time, the paperwork on the GT Mustangs was to far gone and the red one was very nice car. We have started to get checks in and the paperwork flow is much better that in the beginning. Like anything new it takes some time to get it right. Keep in mind this flow of cars will stop very soon due to people that want to buy but cannot get financed as well as the shrinking dealer inventory. If you order a demostic car customer a new car it will take as long as 4 to 8 weeks in normal times but we are not in normal times so it should take alot longer. I see loaded haulers taking cars and trucks out of the storage area daily now and man its sad, the good news it will make the ones that survive worth more just as the cars we collect today have.

I'm not quite ready to wave the BS flag yet, but I am having a hard time believing that people are trading in cars that are obviously worth considerably more than $4500.

[/ QUOTE ]But these people are just going by "trade-in value." The problem is that the average person is not near as knowledgeable on vehicle values and the dealership tells them the vehicle's worth next to nothing so they figure $4500 is way better. Remember there are a LOT of dumb, or should I say uneducated people out there.
