Is Cash For Clunkers On Its Way Back?

    I wonder how much my '94 Chevy Caprice that was "totaled out" for a fender bender is worth? That insurance paid out what I paid back in 2002 ($2500). Be cool if I can double dip or better yet, if they paid a dollar a pound.

    Cars are a cost center, not an investment.  Having Government pick winners and losers in business is unAmerican.  Cash for clunkers was a failure, as is most Government programs.  The Covid spending is no exception to this rule, it will come back to bite us in the butt.

    Wasn't cash for clunkers to get the gas guzzlers off the road to improve air quality?

    I believe that is correct 19.  The thought of all those big blocks being destroyed is saddening to me.  Fortunately I still have a few 427's & 454's out in the shop.

    Yes it was a joke. You could not save a part of any of the trucks being smashed. Now try an find a fender or tail gate to any thing older.  Was such a mess tring to find a front bumper for my 88 F150. we made one.

    A friend was the service manager at a ford dealership then . The vehicles he destroyed were ridiculous . Some very pristine cars and trucks . No legal way to rescue them . I agree big cluster #%<€*

    Yep, try to find a good 454 core or a 12 bolt diff, near impossible.
    Worst part was people would drive in with a paid for vehicle, take the cash and go buy a new one on time with steep payments, after a few months and auto was repossessed they had nothing but bad credit.
