Your old ride may yet roll if the dealer decides that he can get more than the government payout for it.
I know where there are some Ford trucks that I might pay $4750.00 for.

Well if the dealership did not request compensation from the gov under cash for clunkers... IMO that is their perogative. And too, better for the rest of us who didn't have to fund it. I think though that we are in agreement here...

good post. But you know the drill. So no soup for you!

I am surprised it has not happened more often.

It's good to know that some of the more valuable "clunkers" will stay on the market, and out of the junkyard for a few more years.

I agree, why contaminate more landfills with Freon and brake fluid? Plus, I lost a lot of potential car-loves that I'll never have now

" it's " happened alot around here . more than a few really ultra clean late model trucks , ute's , etc. come through on the program and the dealer just gave 'em the cash outta his pocket as he knew they would sell for a lot more .
