That’s an Obamanation!

[Kleon]

We'd point out these vehicles have to have been insured and driven for a year

Nope, just insured.

[AUH2O Repub]

BS - nobody forced the dealer to turn the car into the program. Any dealer that got a car like this would just sell it.

[Dallas59]

I would have paid $6000 for the Bently. People just never call me about these things.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

These Morons have no scruples about Destroying a 233 Year Old Nation, so a $300K Bently, ..... .

[mnehring]

Who wants to be they weren’t really scrapped but ended up in some bureaucrat’s garage after greasing some dealer’s pockets?

[Constitution Day]

Probably the act of some bitchy ex-wife.

[mnehring]

OK, destroying this is an unpardonable sin. #3.

Vehicle:Aston Martin DB7 Volante
Year: 1997
Original MSRP $137,000
Rareness: Only 7,000 built; therefore, there are only 6,999 left at most

I would have added a zero to the end of what the government gave them for this car.

[the invisib1e hand]

I wouldn't be interested in the Excalibur but with Bentley, well, you know, it's takes sacrifice to make a better planet.

Or whatever.

Maybe there was a body in the trunk? Clever way to get rid of incriminating evidence.

[tophat9000]

Come on something is not right..

You had to go to a dealer to do the "Cash for Clunker" right?

And you get a max $4500.00 rebate from the gov if the dealer destroy the "Clunker", the car is in effect sold to the government for a max $4500.00

Well any dealer would know if a car was worth way more then $4500.00 and no way would apply for a $4500.00 government rebate on that car they could turn for more ...

The dealer would just give you a $4500.00 "rebate" out of their own pocket for title that "Clunker", and then resell

The local salvage yard has a pristine 1997 Caddy with 43k miles on it with C4C written on the spotless windshield. When I asked, nobody in the office could understand the logic behind the program. They have C4C cars stuffed in parking lots of closed stores in several parts of town awaiting pickup for processing.

What a waste of money. Moreover, this crowd is so concerned about the environment they want me to use single ply paper in the bathroom but they have zero appreciation for the environmental cost of prematurely scrapping a drivable vehicle with a new one. I have come to the conclusion that even when the left seems to be telling the truth about what they want, the reason they had to resort to the truth was only to perpetuate the lie-du-jour.

[Venturer]

I dont believe it. No dealer is stupid enough to destroy those cars.

[G Larry]

Probably someone like Babs, with more money than brains.

[HighlyOpinionated]

I drive a 1995 Ford Escort 5-speed that gets 34-39 mpg.

I don’t qualify for Cash for Clunkers.

The whole program was just a secondary bail out for the auto industry.

[Vendome]

No Way? Pull my other leg and it plays Jingle Bells!

[goat granny]

Could be a wife or soon to be x wife that was pissed...

[Danae]

zOMfG!

Oh... now this just makes me SICK Sick sick sick! SICKSICK! YOU SHOULD HAVE GIVEN IT TO ME! I WOULD HAVE GIVEN EM 4500$ for it!!! DAMNITALLTOHELL!

[Outlaw Woman]

Got this in email this morning:

The POSITIVE results of “Cash for Clunkers”:

It has taken 95% of the Obama bumper stickers off the road.

[4yearlurker]

I have a family member who has had a GM/Chevy dealership for 51 years. He told me that t during the cash for clunkers run an old man traded in a beautiful old Chevy truck that “he could have drove another 10 years” but had to be destroyed. They drain the oil and pour liquid glass in the engine. He also told me he finally got paid for all his Cash for Clunkers deals. Also he received a letter from GM that he is one of the dealerships that has been cut off. He told me he has about 24 brand new GMs left on the lot and that's it. He is PO’d! I told him that GM did him a favor because a lot of folks do not want Government Motors cars. I suggested he try a Toyota dealership.
