Car Forum / Volkswagen / Air Cooled Volkswagen Cars / July 2009Cash for Clunkers
Now I know how to get rid of the pristine 1972 Beetle! I'm gonna use it as a Cash for Clunkers to get another cheap-a.s vehicle that starts, runs year around in Minnesota, does not whine, break down out of nowhere. $4200 bucks! Why, thats about what I have into it! (Don't shoot me yet. I'm keeping the '58 and the Bradley GTII-E) -- John Boy The car you turn in must be 1982 or newer and the gas mileage must be below 18mpg. It must have been registered, insured, and supposedly your daily driver for 3 full years prior to the purchase. The amount of credit you get is two tiered and based off of the amount of gas mileage improvement. Also, the purchased vehicle must be new. I had the same idea.

That's not old. Which reminds me, it's 2009, time to clean the fridge. >> The car you turn in must be 1982 or newer and the gas mileage must be >> below 18mpg. > > 1982! That's not old.

This pair is just starting to get comfortable. yep, the fine line between "worn-in" and "worn-out" is very blury when it comes to comfort... You dont clean them, just turn them inside out John >>> The car you turn in must be 1982 or newer and the gas mileage must be >>> below 18mpg. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > and maybe time to buy new underwear! It is discouraging to me to know that there are millions of men wearing underwear with MY name in them. (Ya gotta shop at JC Pennys to get that one.) >>>> The car you turn in must be 1982 or newer and the gas mileage must be >>>> below 18mpg.

They predict that there will be only an increase from the 200,000 vehicles worth less than $4,500 that are currently traded for new vehicles every three months to 250,000 vehicles under the Cash for Clunkers program -- a 25% increase. The program period is from July 23-November 1. See the following article for the rest of their argument. http://www.thecitywire.com/?q=node/5297 Here is a link below that explains the main details of the program. Notice the two links at the top of that web page. One link takes you to a list of eligible new vehicles you can purchase, and the other link takes You to a list of eligible used vehicles you can trade in. Note that the web page at the second link says, "Please note that almost all vehicles that are model year 1989 or earlier have a trade in value of less than $4,500, and for that reason we have not included them on this list." http://www.edmunds.com/cash-for-clunkers/stimulus-bill.html -- Randall >Edmunds.com thinks the Cars for Clunkers program is a bad idea.

The Cash for clunkers takes cars to the crusher. Not to the junkyard to recycle the parts to vehicles that can use them. Effectively cutting the ones that are left outta psare parts at the junkyard..... All them Cool Treehuggers are at it once more,.... that's all. They figure a way to legislate "their opinions" into law, and we all lose our hobbies and livelihoods. They suck (tree huggers do). Now if we could only figure out how ot get them to use the vaccum to clean houses instead of limiting what others are able to "get by on"..... |
