I think so, they didn't waste much time adding money to it. I was in NY when the program started and was shocked that the money ran out before I was able to return home to try and participate. I really wasn't planning on buying a car at this time but the clunker deal, (and significant discounts on desireable high quality high MPG cars in addition) was too good to pass up. I paid less for the Civic then I did for the first Honda Accord we bought in 1987. That car went for full list due to demand and was around $13,500..

Best regards,
John

Works a hell of a lot better than TARP. I hate cash for clunkers, but if the goal is to prop up the eoncomy, there's no question which is better.

Jim, the $700 billion wasn't meant to stimulate - that's the con. it was meant by bankers to cover their buddy bankers' losses.

that's it.

they couldn't say that, so they said they were doing it for your benefit, but it was always a lie.
