Isn't it just a plan by the govt to yet again help out the automakers?

You can only trade in one clunker, and it has to get less that 18 mpg.ga. prime":hciz3v6j said:I wonder if you can trade in 2 or 3 clunkers on the same deal and if you can trade for a Honda or does it have to be a Ford or GM?

I do not have possession of the car, but other dealers have already given the cars to their buyers. There is a local dealer that is stuck with a loss of $160,000 if the govt doesn't come up with the money. If they come up with the money, I'm going to get a G6. Otherwise I might go buy that '70 Z28 i found.john250":e6wm5hsh said:I'm curious, FarmGirl. If the govt doesn't come up with the money are you still committed to the deal? Do you have possession of the car? Whatcha gonna get?
The Z28 would be a great car, but not as a daily driver. Been there, done that with a 68 Chevelle SS. The "restoration" work was never finished once it became driveable. You can pass everything but a gas station, UNLESS there is one snowflake on the ground, then you will just fishtail around and not even make it to the gas station. If you really like the G6, the $4500 would probably make the new one the same price as one a year or two old.
they can.. he@# that's all were selling is used..upfrombottom":1ptntnq5 said:not trying to but in here, but I took my mom (72) to look at a new vehicle. She has a fully loaded 2004 Ford Explorer with 46,000 mi. I told her to keep it but when she gets her mind on something theres no turning back. She was afraid when the warranty ran out something would happen to it. She wanted to trade for the same make model they offered her 4000.00 for it.They claimed the economy is so bad that no car dealers can get used vehicles financed. The said that they only go by auction estimates now and not the blue book values. Kind of sounds like the cow business

On Friday, the House passed an additional $2 billion in aid for the Consumer Assistance to Recycle & Save Program by a vote to 316 to 109. The bill (H.R. 3435), known as "cash for clunkers," will shift funding from an energy loan program that was included in the economic stimulus plan passed earlier this year. The Senate plans to take up the legislation early next week.

Got that right. Second, hard to fold up to get into one, then try getting back out without rolling on the ground first. :lol2:

Up to now, we've just been giving millions to the billionaires.
I don't know who thought of this scheme, but it's darn sure a step in the right direction.

One of my sons has a Toyota Corolla that I drive once in a while, gets 36mpg. Pivoting doesn't work for me on that one, my knee won't go under the steering wheel. I have to step into it. It's aggravating getting in and out but it's pretty comfortable once you're seated.
