There are ways around that. Sell it to your brother, then he sells it to your dad, then back to you, and so on. ---

I’m trying to find something a little more hardcopy about it still, but it looks like its not so easy to get around. A cousin who was stationed over there for a couple years told me about it a while ago. ---

A cousin who was stationed over there for a couple years told me about it a while ago. I wonder what a Japanese car show looks like? Are there any classics? I can’t imagine people wanting to own something that the government is all over their asses about. ---

They can have my Xterra when they pry it from my cold broke hands!!! Fantastic legislation when coupled with the 35mpg mandate. “We need to reduce our foreign oil blah blah blah, you have to use less gas blah blah blah, here we’ll help you do it.” Whether it will do a lick of good in the grand scheme of things? :tif: It’s worth a try I guess. ---

Really surprised and disappointed they changed the 1 year registered requirement down to 120 days for the turn in vehicle. 1 year made it impossible to scam the system. 120 days means a bunch of people are going to register beaters and get free money. ---

Does NY give the Murano a commercial plate? EDIT: This is on topic. If it gets a commercial plate from what I’m reading it qualifies as a “work truck”. > (16) REGISTERED WORK TRUCK- The term `registered work truck’ means a work truck that– > ``` > (A) a dealer, at the time of acquisition by an ultimate purchaser of a work truck for which a voucher under section 3 of this Act is applied, registers such truck as a commercial vehicle under the applicable State law for such purchaser as the registered owner thereof; and > > ``` > ``` > (B) achieves the emission standard listed as tier 2, bin 5 in Table S04-1 under section 86.1811-04 of title 40, Code of Federal Regulations. > > ``` If so I think I’m going to start looking for a $200 beater to register/insure 121 days before this program ends. $5000 for the beater, plus trade in my Expedition, = new Murano with significant down payment from the taxpayers. ---
