CoronitaParticipant[quote=SanDiegoDave]Bumping this one up and asking a new question.
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.[/quote]
Make, model, year?
You are so lucky to be able to take advantage of this. Unfortunately, you can’t just go buy a clunker and get the credit. You must have owned the car for at least 1 year,registered,insured,etc.

ParticipantWhat is funny about this is that our Gov. forced thousands of GM and Chrysler dealerships to close, leaving many towns with little domestic choices and leaving foreign makers to control the market in those areas.
Now our Gov. offers $4500 of our tax dollars to anyone willing to trade in a clunker with no domestic stipulation, so many buyers will choose Foreign. So the profits from US tax payer subsidized sales will go to other countries. Wonderful. Tack that onto the $500 billion in bailout dollars that already went to foreign banks.
Even worse is that you can buy a car that was not even assembled in the US and still get a $4500 gift, courtesy of US tax payer. Our tax dollars supporting the jobs, GDP, healthcare and schools of other countries? WTF??? This is trade diplomacy or trade charity at its worst. We are screwed!
“The new vehicle can be U.S. or foreign-built and must have a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of less than $45,000.”
