The government launched the program today. In typical government project planning and display of incompetence, the computer system for it crashed.
But my question revolves around this “scrap value” of the trade-in vehicles. The program states that the dealer must give you a “reasonable estimate” of the scrap value of your car.
Well, I wasn’t born yesterday and there is no way I’m walking into a dealer without some independent knowledge of what my vehicle’s scrap value is.
Does anyone know where to find this info? Google search only turn up places that offer to pick up your “junker” and give you cash. My car is not a junker. But it has poor mileage and thus qualifies for the cash-for-clunkers program. I just need to know how much the scrap is worth without letting the dealer pull a bullsh1t number out of thin air.
