I say we get a group of us who are going to buy new cars and buy 80’s crown vics, then have a demo derby. Then trade them all in. Just make sure whatever you break, you can get them running again. ---

idunno, maybe that person snagging the new civic has been on the fence about buying. I could never get that kind of money for my xterra on trade-in. Then again, I will buy another suv if I get rid of it, and I probably would only qualify for the lowest voucher. ---

Doesn’t matter where it’s made, the “US assembled” requirement was part of the wrong bill originally linked. The real bill that was passed makes no mention of country of origin. And I have a hard time believing you couldn’t get $3500 in trade for an xterra, unless it’s a really old 2wd 4 banger in bad shape with a bunch of miles. ---

^ Running it into the ground is a good idea actually. It’s not worth much in trade and every month it keeps going is a month you don’t have a car payment. ---

yeah, that’s true sad part about it is that I am fairly confident I could drive it like this for years. If I wanted, I could pick up a new A/C compressor, but it would cost around 800 bucks. The body of the car is just going to rot out around the engine/transmission. Stupid Buffalo winters… ---

It’s a 1 year program and the clunker has to be registered and insured for at least 1 year to qualify. They did this specifically so people like you (and I’ll admit, me) couldn’t go buy $400 clunkers and get $4500 for them. :tup: to the government for actually thinking about these loopholes for once. So if you want to try to scam the system you better get that clunker and get it registered/insured ASAP, before the bill passes the senate and gets signed by Obama. Even then you’re going to have to wait till almost the end of the program (assuming it gets signed soon) to get your qualifying year on your clunker. A year from now the economy may be doing well enough that you’ll actually lose money because you won’t be able to get the smoking deals you can get today on cars anymore. ---

So what you need to do is offer some poor person a $1000 car and have them buy a new car and sell it to you cheap? Do you think poor people will be buying cars and flipping them now, just to buy another $500 car but pocket $1000-2000 to buy crack and 40ozs with?
