Holy mother of god. I always wanted one of those....

Damn.

after cash for clunker, should be going straight to metal scrap and can't re-sell what Goverment said.
Maybe I am wrong (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dunno.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dunno.gif) ...

might be a good time to make friends with some sketchy junkyard folk

I sincerely hope this on-the-job training program experiment will be over soon...

I had a salesman at a local Toyota dealer ask if I was taking advantage of the CFC program when I wheeled up in my ratty looking '87 4Runner. I asked him if that was the program where they give me $4500.00 for my truck. He told me it was. I offered to walk home after I cleaned out the glove box and he wrote the check. He gave me a blank look and started to explain the program. The parts manager there is a friend of mine, and he said that once the engines are killed, the rest of the car is being sold to recycling yards. I thought they were going to be crushed, but apparently not. I wonder how many of the cars sold on this program will be repossessed before Christmas?

OWOWOWOWOW Big Suckage. (fill in some more swear words here)

Now, having said that, it makes my 87 GTA worth just a teeny little bit more...... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I knew this was gonna happen, but I was hoping it wouldnt be a nice one. GEEZ

Make me an offer Kevin.

bock

3 lug nuts and all the change I can dig out from under the back seat of my Camaro?

Are they Chrome?

At least one of them is.

(Psst. My Camaro doesn't have a back seat...or front seats for that matter).

Bummer! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/puke.gif) I looked at one of the clunker lists and M3s (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/gr_eek2.gif) , yeah M3s were on it! I'll be none of those were turned in! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

The whole thing was a farce. It perpetuates planned obsolescence, increases energy usage, continues to throw money at companies that needed to fail so they could rebuild, and continues to stiff dealers through delayed payment. And on top of that, NONE of the top 10 vehicles purchased through the program were from GM or Chrysler.

Not only all that, but think about "most" people who are driving cars worth less than $4500. Most of them aren't driving them by choice - they simply can't afford better. So, we now stick them into a new car where they may not be able to afford the payments long term.

Plus, many people who were going to buy new cars in the next year bought them now. You're going to see huge fall-offs in car sales soon.

Oh, FYI - the engine and a couple other large components (tranny, etc.) can't be reused. But, the rest of the car can be dismantled and resold. Saw it in the regulations when I was reading them.

What year was that? What a shame, I wonder what it was traded for.

Looked like an '85 to me.

Wow, that TA has better paint than mine.

This is absolutely wicked, and wrong. It's a shitty misuse of resources and is inefficient.

I'm glad I didn't see an SVO Mustang.
