> [@Blue Eyed Devil](#): > > I bet the auto makers are glad they spent millions on advertising for this.:bloated: Well if it truly did use up the billion dollars already it means the automakers sold 200k+ cars in 4 days, so I’d say it was a better return than any of their other advertising this year. ---

the whole point of the program is to supposedly help the environment. I think it is retarded, but if you are going to participate then do it right. running a volvo till the turbo cries and it catches on fire is not the right way to go about it. ---

Sooo, how many people here are kicking themselves for getting rid of their clunkers the last few years? Also I thought you had to but a vehicle made in NA, but you don’t, so if I still had my Voyager (combined 18mpg, just made it!) I’d be driving a new Jetta wagon TDI right now. Or an Impreza but that only gets me $3500. I had to fight to get $1200 when I traded in that POS. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/cash-for-clunkers-v-clean-air/71337.md?page=1)
