Gov’t giving you $4500 to trade in your old car,

[enron_by_the_sea]

[quote=Rt.66]What 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!

Great! I was just waiting for this. Let the firefight begin.

It gets even bettter….BMW is matching the $4500 credit rebate…Yup that’s right…If I read that right, you can save up to $9000 off a 335 diesel….

Also, supposedly there is $900 tax credit too on top of that.

Hmmm…That’s not such a bad option.

Also, you might end up getting more than $4500 from the gov…

“Customers are responsible for bringing in an old “clunker” that gets, at most, 18 mpg (thanks, charities) and buy a new vehicle with better mpg. It looks like it might be possible to get more than $4,500 for your trade-in, because any scrap value that the trade-in has can be added to the rebate.”

No worries. I bet if you posted a poll here, you’ll find out far fewer people can take advantage of the $4500 tax credit than others.

Edit never mind comment about scrap value… I think it’s measured per weight..

I have a feeling this program will work about as well as the various mortgage modification programs that O rolled out.
