[quote=briansd1]Just an indirect giveaway to the dealers and car companies. And another way to get Americans into debt.
Try negotiating a cash deal on a car and once the price is agree upon, tell them what you want to turn in your old clunker and get $4,500 + $4,500 ($9,000) off the price of the purchase.
They won’t sell the car to you. They’ll come up with some lame excuse that, unfortunately, that one unique car has been sold by the manager already (or some excuse like that).[/quote]
