Some thing else that is starting to come clear;
Not sure if this is everywhere, but my Uncle owns a Ford House. He sold lots of cars, some he is still waiting on the fed money to come in on. He had to pay people to come in and do all the Federal Paper work. it was pages for each vehicle. Now he is seeing many of the vehicles he sold coming back. Quite a few of the vehicles were bought by people who could not afford them or recently lost their jobs. So now he is having to eat the depreciation of the vehicle and has to sell them as used vehicles. A loss on both accounts. And just think, all that lost money, while still waiting on reinbursment from the Feds. What a great plan that was.
Now how about all those destoryed cars that the less fortunate could have bought??? Screwem, let them eat cake.

IIRC, VC said that wouldn't happen. Your Uncle must be incorrect.

Here is a good example of how there is very little recourse we have if the government is running things. In the private sector, the customer was always right, or that is what the saying was anyway. Now, the government is always right, and I would hope that I never have to rely on the government for approval to get an MRI, or a life saving drug.
Burnie, your uncle should be worried because he deals in Fords, and the government is his competition. Obama don't care too much for companies who are making a profit.

That report is wrongor lieing. I have a 07 chevy 1/2 v6 4/2 great truck. On a bad day i get 20 mile a gallon on a good day good gas wind to my back i get up to 25. So theres alevel of lieing in that report. This program was not to get cars that got bad mpg off the road. It was to sell alot fo cars and trucks at once. Wonna know why sometime between no and 2011 i think it is all trucks cars and suvs must get like 25 to 30 miles per gallon atleast to be sold in the usa. They knew if the higher mpg came out with all the gas eating trucks and cars out there the price of those trucks and cars would sit on the lot. Also who owns GM. I wonder. I think it was ajoke but it helped alot of people out. Would you perfer they give it to gm or the banks.

I doubt heis eating anything. I am sure like every other lot. he buys them back at half cost and sells them to make more money if not there a proplem. He has no legal requirment to take them back.

Cash for clunkers was supposed to have two goals: Help the auto industry by boosting sales, and help the environment by exchanging inefficient vehicles for more efficient ones. Do the research if you don't believe me.
Follow up reports on the program show that it failed to live up to the goals on both fronts.
More cash for clunkers failings...
