Fiji ST Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 My friend has a beat to shit 03 Chevy Cavalier and he wants to take advantage of the CARS program to get a new car. I told him he can't since his car gets good gas mileage (25mpg combined). He thinks he can get $3500/4500 simply because it's a POS. Who's right?

Mr. Jones Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 My friend has a beat to shit 03 Chevy Cavalier and he wants to take advantage of the CARS program to get a new car.

Why are you even asking this question, it's like asking " my friend says it's okay to go over 65 if the sun is at the 3 o'clock position in the sky" ?

Fiji ST Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Did you point this retard to the OFFICIAL WEBSITE? Why are you even asking this question, it's like asking " my friend says it's okay to go over 65 if the sun is at the 3 o'clock position in the sky" ? Because: A.) I want to make sure I understand it correctly. B.) To show him that I'm right, and he's wrong by having others confirm what I'm telling him.

Fiji ST Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 nothing like taking in a paid off car for a hybrid you cant afford, to then drive like a retard because it is slow and still only get about 25 mpg. If you saw his car, you'd be trying to trade in it as well. And he wouldn't get a hybrid either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
