nurkvinny Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Wow. My in-laws were taking their old Jeep in tomorrow for a credit towards a new Avalon. We just called and told them to get there early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Wow, So much for turning that old van of ours into a newer vehicle. Oh well, it still runs good with approaching 400,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Maker Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I heard that equated to around 250,000 cars. Can you do simple math or are the drugs that bad? Just in case you really didn't make it past the third grade. 1,000,000,000/4,500=222,222 1,000,000,000/3,500=285,714 1,000,000/4,000=250,000 Did any of you read those articles? Says they've given away about 100,000,000. Seems like the are out of money for 'now' and are going to supposedly temporarily suspend it. They run off of debt and fake money everywhere else, seems like the dealers don't want IOU's. The whole thing is a little confusing. We are not seeing the whole story at this point is my guess and these are just some rumors floating out of Washington (possibly true, possibly untrue), or even possibly something completely fabricated.

excell Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 This morning NPR reported the system has such a huge backlog that they feared it would run out of money before everyone was serviced. So it's been temporarily suspended until they can clear the backlog and see where the program stands. So it technically hasn't run out of money yet, but it's just had such an unprecedented response that they couldn't keep up. Pretty incredible, IMO.

OSUGT Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 its a joke uploading the 10-15 documents to the cars site for payment. You have to send each doc in an individual pdf file. Its a typical poorly executed govt plan. Gives you a lot of confidence about them handling health care efficiently... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Gives you a lot of confidence about them handling health care efficiently... look how poorly run canada and GB's health care plans are. we are SOL if they do run it:( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I saw on the news a local honda dealer sold like 70 cars in 4 days with this deal, that's rediculous. I wish I had a clunker tho, a nice beat ass $500 ranger would be sweet to trade it in an get $4500 off a $15k civic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
