$4500?

 

Yup. He works at the ford dealer so they gave him 4500 + over 6k in rebates on top of an employee discount. He needed a new daily driver, so he got a focus for like 4k lol

 

Sounds super

 

have you seen the videos of the dealers killing cars with the sodium silicate?
it sounds like the engine is literally screaming

 

It really does

 

it's some pretty crazy stuff.

I saw a jeep 4.0L - an engine known for it's durability last 20 seconds.. nuts

 

Not even that

 

what a ****ing waste.

 

why do they do that to them?

 

part of cash for clunkers, motors cant be resold, must be made unusable

 

wouldnt picture that newer volvo to be a clunker but hey

 

Idk about you, but I didn't expect obama to be such an idiot.

 

it was all on the new here junk yards are pissed there wrecking the motors, instead of letting them use them. they said there taking a big hit.

 

Also, the gov. still hasn't paid a lot of the dealers participating

 

they must not have tuned the volvo after they put the kenne bell on....:tomato

 

they have to destroy the engines so they can never pollute again. that was the main point of this whole thing, get people into better mileage/less polluting cars

 

No thats an idea. The point of cash for clunkers is to make people think obama is the savior of the car industry, environment, racist cops, poor people(who could in fact use a 2000 volvo for free), and in turn trying to get that approval rating back up by next election.

 

^true but still people cant afford new cars need new used parts. but owell

 

what cars do you have to buy if you trash your old ones?

 

A new one

 

Thats pretty gay

 

the cars are supposed to be recycled, but now that the gove. is in the cars sales buisness, theres all kinds of rebates. kinda funny

 

Its pretty sad cant picture my baby doing that lol

 

Sad on 2 parts to me.
Wish others that can't afford a new car could get some of those so called clonkers [ some of those vehicles were good cars, just high mileage ]
# 2 , we will always have the poor with us [ per the bible ] been better if they would have reasonably paid auto shops to fix some of those cars & gave them to some poor family,single parents, use them for like agencies like ymca, meals on wheels ,churches etc ....
sorry - not a big fan of this program right now :sorry

 

The crappy part is that as of this date, less than 2% of the cash for clunkers payouts have been made by the Adm. to the dealers.

 

Sounds like some dealers are going to get get f-ed just like a lot of people on state tax returns.

If you want to pull people out of a recession, stop making cheesy programs that are band aid fixes..

Instead of paying out billions upon billions for a few select companies, how about giving each person in the us just say... 10 thousand dollars.

That or put a bullet in greedy tycoon ceos heads.. but that's illegal.

 

99% of them are not made in japan

 

but I feel like the best way to make the engines unusable is to noooott start em at all they still won't pollute

 

Union's have ruined it for there self's and everyone else.

The pollution is a bunch of bs. yes we are polluting but its not worse then it was in the previous years.

American cars can last these days. before the mid 90's they couldnt.

This whole "going green" is a way for the government and its minions to make more money. Why should it cost more to buy recycled paper or plastic or any other "Green" or "environmentally safe" item?!

I cant see it costing more to recycle something then to go out to the woods chop some **** up and ship it to a factory then process it, ship it again then out to the consumer.

But yet they charge more!! and while they do the recycle process they save on all that smog they dont put into the air from those bulldozer's, dumptrucks, and semi's.
its all a scam for the rich to get richer. when it comes down to it they dont care about the air/earth they care about there pockets.


Yes it is good to be cleaner and to "go green" and it has all the tree huggers happy.
but i dont think there main intention was to help the earth, i think they thought of a way to scam everyone in the world into spending more money and being happy about it.

 

most of the stuff they say is green is not

“Of the 2,219 products claiming to green in the United States and Canada, only 25, or less than 2% of, products were found to be Sin-free,”

Well a lot of the "green" items are considered "green" by using less plastic like deer park water bottles use 25% less plastic so that is cutting back, and changing stuff to be more environmentally friendly. Which is also Great because every little bit does help and this is needed to be done or it will get out of control.

 

I personally think this is the stupidest thing I have EVER heard. Why not take the cars, and then sell them to other countries and use that money to help the economy. I mean the amount of cars they are taking of the road and pollution cant be that great. I just think it is sad to destroy a perfectly good car that could be used for parts for someone who cant afford new ones.....but I guess with welfare and food stamps they can all get new cadillacs....GO OBAMA....

 

AMEN!

 

that program is stupid.How did that volco qualify any way.It gets way better the required 18mpg or less

 

Hey I wasnt the only one bashing Nobama, I just think he is a dipshit. I know welfare has been around way before him, trust me thats part of the reason I moved to Mexico, I got tired of working my ass off for people who dont want to work to take my money. I just think its a shame, not to mention a waste of a car, I saw one where a guy traded in a Maserati, with low ass miles, and it was turbo. I would think that car would be worth more than 4.500 they junked it for, and yet again a waste, it was in mint condition, the leather seats were even perfect.

 

Oh i know that wasnt just for you, and yeah its bs that we pay for the free loaders.

it isnt the smartest thing they could of done. but they tried something. just think in a few months they will repo all the cars and make more money.
