AsburySkinsFan Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Here's mine that I just got today. Has anyone else taken advantage of the program yet? We traded in a 2002 Ford Windstar; which had a blue book of $1600, had a transmission that was going bad, and I just found out had a leak in the head gasket. We managed to keep our payments very close to what we were paying on the Windstar so our budget won't be affected...yay! 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5 S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techboy Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 When we have the time to figure out what percentage of the car is mine (since as a taxpayer, I helped pay for it), we can work out a schedule for when I get to drive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardi gras skin Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I'm more interested in the truck next to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljs Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Nice car~ I'm trying..have a 91 Ford Explorer that I had planned to turn in last week- but the same day I was going to do that, the ****er quit running. I think it's the battery cables, but I gotta get it fixed first. I'm thinking the Ford Escape, or even Focus. I don't want a big payment- and those are rated well by Consumer reports.

AsburySkinsFan Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Nice car and it sounds like you did pretty good :applause: Thanks, we are very happy with it. When we have the time to figure out what percentage of the car is mine (since as a taxpayer, I helped pay for it), we can work out a schedule for when I get to drive it. Sure thing, and I imagine that with the percentage that you would at least be able to drive it to the mailbox, and since I'm so generous I'll even let you put it back into the garage. I'm more interested in the truck next to it. Yeah, that's my baby. 100,000 miles and still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL! I was never a Dodge man until I owned my 1500, now I love 'em, 100,000 and no major problems, the biggest thing that I've had go wrong just happened last week and its my window on the driver's side, its now stuck. This truck has been flawless, and when the 5.9 V8 does finally give in it'll get another one just like it and go for another 100,000 miles plus. but seriously, nice car im sure you'll enjoy it. Thanks, going from minivan to car is a bit of a shift but I do like it very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsburySkinsFan Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Think I could trade in an 02 altima for a new one? You probably wouldn't get the full $4500 out of it. There is a website that you can check to see if your car qualifies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twa Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 So, no one else has gotten rid of their clunker? The wife wants a new Camaro, but the jerks don't wanna give the rebate for it. I figure to sweat em out till they get desperate...besides I'd rather the convertible(which ain't available yet) I'm in no hurry to give Govt Motors any money anyway.

ljs Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 So, no one else has gotten rid of their clunker? planning on it as soon as my "clunker" is repaired. Can't get the rebate if I have to tow it to the dealer:silly: Should have it next week- and I'll update when it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metskins Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Where the **** is the outrage for this program? It's artificially inflated the price of cars at the expense of tax payers. A few years for now, I wonder how many people are going to be defaulting on their car loans, furthering the tax payer burden??? No, I'm not bashing the OP, I'm just amazed that this subject isn't getting the same scrutiny around here that the whole mortgage topic did. And yes, I'm trying to buy a car right now and this ****ing program has managed to raise the prices I THOUGHT I was going to be able to get on a new Toyota Highlander Limited by about $2000 in a matter of a few weeks!!

AsburySkinsFan Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 The outrage is in the other dozen threads on it;) Yep, this thread is for the praise and benefits of this program and for those who are taking advantage of it. As for the raise in prices, I've seen nothing of the sort, and I can say this with a fair level of assurance considering my wife and I have been researching these cars for several weeks now and we haven't seen any increase, everything is exactly where we expected it to be. *edit BTW, the Highlander doesn't even qualify for the clunkers program because it doesn't get 21 mpg.
