I don’t know for sure, but my guess is that dealers aren’t cutting real great deals because of this program, since there is no trade-in. They probably keep repeating the $4500 thing to get people to buy, but the buyers are paying the full load. I doubt that the dealers are giving much in the way of breaks or incentives when it’s a sale based on the C4C program. I think ostammer’s real motive for implementing C4C is to grow UAW jobs for his cronies by driving up demand for new autos. I also think his whole health care thing is union-driven by his connection to the SEIU which is run by ACORN.
I saw some places advertising $9000 off including the C4C.
