Well your paying basically 400 a month plus insurance on that car. Well insurance on a newer car will be more plus your payment plus maybe 50 a week in gas. Hmm sounds like its damn near even, or more expensive. Not to mention you just went into debt. Exactlyyyyyyy! I feel that this cash for clunkers gave the scummers out there with shitty cars who clearly can’t afford a new car, a chance to get a new car and then when reality sets in, they can’t pay for this new car they just got. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/cherry-l98-vette-killed-for-cash-for-clunkers/246246)._
