If they’re asking up front then fine. The customer can decide how trustworthy they think the feds are.
Anyhoo, it’s over now, so we’ll see the fall out over the coming months moving toward the new model year and the into the holidays. I hope the dealers have a brisk business and can take in some trades that lower middle-class Americans can take advantage of.
I wish the all well and I hope the dealers get their money and the car buyers didn’t over-commit in the deals they signed onto. If it threw some business toward the suppliers, that’s also good.
I’m withholding judgment. I’m against government subsidies of any kind and don’t like the idea of subsidizing the program and I have no faith in the government to follow through according to their promise, policies and plans except for the military, but on the other hand it’s good to see hard working Americans catch a break for once and the dealers as well. They’ve been hit hard by the economic plunge into darkness.
