War on the poor. When they cannot afford the payment they are left without a way to work.
I wish the state would replace the emissions program with something like this. It is dumb to check tens of thousands of modern vehicles that don’t pollute.
That will increase the prices for used vehicles with larger seating capacity. Large family, moderate income? Too bad!
O.G.N.T.S.A.
BS, There's no such thing as a free lunch, someone is paying somewhere for this and pockets are somehow being lined.
And no, it is not polluting the Earth.
Years ago I worked the summer months up/near at
Greeley, CO. They had a (nearby) Turkey Farm that made the air nearly un-breathable in the early morning hours. The same goes for the meat packing company near Longmont. Bad.
My 2003 GMC 2500 Sierra DIESEL passes air quality inspections just fine thank you.
Huh? What body orifice did they pull that gem from?
I doubt that a 15 year period ever produced a 100 fold improvement in emissions, even covering the switch from carburetors to fuel injection and catalytic converters.
I drive a 1997 Neon with 258k miles. It doesn't smoke, and the OBDII control system would trigger a code if any of the emissions system was malfunctioning.
They probably got it from a thirty year old Ralph Nader propaganda piece, and think it's true now, because liberals are stupid.
2004 Dodge Dakota Pickup
295,000 plus another 88,000+ being dragged around behind our RV.
the dealer will write the ‘free’ car off on his taxes as a donation, and is encouraged to ‘donate’ rather than sell a trade-in, so it’s not ‘free’ to the taxpayers. And, pulling 15yo cars off the road hurts the poor and elderly - who can’t afford or don’t have the credit for $30K car payments. That lesson was learned in California’s ‘cash for clunkers’ program. But if Colorado wants to learn the hard lesson again...
