Bah humbug! I have my own horror story on C4C. But I'm sorta proud that I can't get it even though I have to buy a car of some sorts.

The dealers I've talked to say C4C is a pain in the butt to them. My son has talked to some who say it will destroy their business.


More Trouble in Cash for Clunkers?

Maybe the dealers who are still to be paid by the Government will pass their stories to EVERY SINGLE person they can....

If the Government can screw up a $1 Billion, now a $3 BILLION program, just think what they will do with a ONE TRILLION DOLLAR Health Care Program.....

It truly beggars the imagination.

The program has come to near standstill as well because inventories have been bought down and the dealers aren't offering matching $3500 incentives anymore. I talked to one of the staff at work that was going to buy a Dodge but missed out. There is no new inventory to replace sold vehicles, so Dodge dialed down the matching incentive and the dealerships aren't budging off MSRP.
