Re: Cash for clunkers
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php...show_article=1 ap news story - gov to suspend c4c program.
people upset that parts that can be used in other cars are being destroyed.
they probably will not have enough money to pay the backlog of c4c claims from dealers.
its all over now.

Re: Cash for clunkers
I just spoke my mind on the subject. I did not start a debate. I call it "venting", because I think the big lie is causing a big waste of tax payer money. I'm sorry that me talking about global warming gets you fired up. It was as easy as just looking over my post.

dont worry about it - we are all adults and reasonable men frequently disagree about many things of importance.
and debating is always fun.

Tony is right, they ran out of money. The program, for the moment, is suspended. Now is the time to stop posting here complaining and call your congressperson (being PC) and tell them not to re-fund this thing if you are against it.
You're the second person that has said that. Where did you see it was any different? Every time I checked this garbage bill its been the same. I'm curious where the conflicting information came from.
They changed the rules. So, you are correct.

Re: Cash for clunkers
[*]Though all trades must be in drivable condition, dealers are required to disable the vehicles' engines before scrapping them. Regulators’ accepted procedure: Drain the oil, then run several quarts of sodium silicate through the engine. As engine heat evaporates the solution, deposits of dehydrated sodium silicate line the engine's lubrication system, abrading all the moving parts and causing the engine to seize.
On the other hand, if an fbody is actually worth more than $3500-$4500, the owner will sell it. If it's worth less, scrap it I say.
well nobody with a brain. But perhaps tail lamps, rear axle, rims, etc might
be needed and now junkyards might see a large amount of these cars showing up.
Some of you guys are a little silly. A car is a car.

Re: Cash for clunkers
The local dealerships around here are doing just that.
Not to say some are not crushing as well. I mean, you have to look at the marketability of the parts too. The last few years I got out of it because I couldn't sell the parts. Thirdgens are a Niche market now, pretty much every 16 year old with dads money is buying import.
