Holy multi quote!!! That is part of their intent I think. Everybody is fixing their cars instead of buying new ones. Which on some level is great for me as I am in the service end of a dealership. But this program was designed with the new car industry in mind only. Not the used parts industry. I am biased towards used parts too. The junk yards and endless aftermarket companies create a problem for me too. a person is definitely going to go buy what is cheaper regardless of whether it is used or new. There is a higher valued market for the parts I sell than the parts they sell because there is a higher quantity of them to be found. The used parts industry isn't going to be hurt that badly by dealership ruining the cars bc there are still gonna be wrecks and totalled losses, people are still going to blow their shit up because they dont know how to take care of it and the junk yards are going to continue aquiring their assets the same way they do now. And I will continue to sell the door handles on camry's that the junk yard ran out of or the suspension arms on 4runners that you cant get aftermarket. The program is not going to affect the parts industry on the whole nearly as bad as you are suggesting. I don't think this is meant to say whether you should have a lower valued car. It just creates a new factor in the purchase knowing that if you buy it, you might have missed out on being able to buy that control arm you might need in the future because the car got traded in and crushed instead of getting rearended and ending up in a junk yard....

i know me toooo!!!!!!

Oh and for those of you that think they have a vehicle worth $7K? If thats the case, then sell it for that much. Go ahead and try. During times like these, the term "retail value" has absolutely no meaning whatsoever. The value of your car is only what you DO sell it for. Not what you COULD sell it for. My 91 accord is valued at 2400 in that little yellow book, but I'll be lucky if I can sell it for $1500...

Whether the program works or not is a whole different story. The one thing that does concern me about it is where the rebate is coming from. obviously its true, if you're not benefitting from it, you're still paying for it so that is definitely a downfall.

Corolla's are flying off the showroom floor from this program.. This program is also good for people that own vehicles that have to take a loss on their vehicles. If you have a 95 Exploder with a hundred different problems(c'mon now, you know ford lacks in the SUV dept) such as no AC, a window that doesnt roll down with a ticking noise coming from a belt tensioner, no one in their right mind would buy it. Shitty gas mileage plus a bunch of normal ford problems make it's actual value way lower than what you would find in a lil yellow book. You probably couldn't GIVE it away to a normal person. Now the people that are in this situation have an opportunity to take advantage of. If they can afford the new car its not a bad deal. Of course, if this program doesn't directly help you because you dont need a new car or dont have a shitty one right now, I supposed its the worst idea iin the world. But here's where it does good things: My dealership has sold 40 new cars(give or take). Thats revenue for my establishment of employment. Which means it benefits me indirectly, along with other Toyota employees all over northern KY. TEMA gets more cars sent to us from the factory 50 miles from. It's helping the entire automotive industry. Selling new cars, while some can argue is pointless for how many used cars are out there, is a key factor in our economy and trickles down from one little dealership all the way to the huge factories that employ thousands of people. And that goes for every brand, not just toyota... Destroying the cars is a good idea I think. It takes away the demand for useless pieces of shit out there on the road and eliminates them from the economy and from the sales choices. why give so much money for them if they are going to get in the way for people to decide what cars they would like to buy. Just because they are cheap at first doesnt make them worth it IMO

There is no way the government would tolerate giving out $4500 for a car and allow the dealership to pull the motor and make money off of it. It's all about the money. They are only using the fuel usage as a means to get backing from the EPA. The program appeals to alot of people and may end up being a good thing.

I didnt make it. I was on the east side too late... hopefully i'll see ya'll soon!!

Yea we are doing it today... We have about 40clunkers in our back lot. Everyone of them will be useless in about an hour...

Since the junkies site is going off and on right now, if you have any questions or concerns about camping, call my cell 8592500956... I will be rolling out saturday morning

Ok. Looks like camping both nights. I'll know about the genny and warmers tomoro night for you e, and should we bring a grill? I might be able to bring a lil one that way we can make some tasty din din saturday night

i bought a novice spot for saturday but i plan on putting my name in for a no shower or crasher as soon as possible saturday morning. depending how good i feel at putnam just start out in advanced

i have a lil one. its 1000 watts... i might be able to borrow a bigger one for that weekend since no junkies are going to this. monger might let me borrow it and some warmers for you. i'll ask him and tuna

ok camping is $5 per person per night and if we want an electric hookup(unnecessary, i have a generator) its an extra $20 bucks. thats a definitely for saturday. if we get up there too late friday i might say we should just get a room cuz we might not be able to get into the campground past a certain time

I almost think i might try for hotel first night, then camp saturday night maybe??? let me see what magic my military discount can make!

yep... i get off at 5 friday now. thats the best i could do. so we'll be getting up there late but its all good.

I think its like 40 to camp maybe?? I still have to look into that. I will bring my big tent all three of us can fit no problem... I usually cover the food and stuff too. I cant get off work til 4 friday so i might leave my trailer and bike with you two toload up then i can drive up after work, hook up and we can take off. It will be about a 5-6 hour drive. We'll have to set up the tent and go straight to sleep so we can be well rested

I should be able to make it.. Just have to go to eastgate after work to run an errand...
