How sad to see some of the cars and trucks that will be sent to the junk pile. I took a few pictures but we have a few hundred in our storage lot and counting. CLUNKER PICTURES

[/ QUOTE ]Man that is crazy.The front bumper is worth about a grand.

Can you get me any more info on the truck? Like the last 4 of the VIN,and if there is any way to salvage any of the rare and unobtainable parts off it before it gets turned into a Hyundai?

What dealer is the syclone at ?

I wish there had been an amendment that would have excluded collectable or high horsepower vehicles from this law. I know the Govt doesn't care about them at all but when the attrition rate has allready claimed hundreds or thousands of these cars and trucks it is a sad thing to thing that more of them get killed off for this failed program... I am sure there are 454SS trucks headed to the back lots right now as well as Buick Grand nationals and more Syclones and Typhoons.....

At a dealership here in KC, somebody traded in a beautiful 87 5.0 Mustang LX convertible with 32,000 original miles. This program is literally making me sick.

Local dealer told me you have to fill out 21 pages of paper work & if you screw one up you get to start all over!!!!!

I'm not quite ready to wave the BS flag yet, but I am having a hard time believing that people are trading in cars that are obviously worth considerably more than $4500.

Now this is killing me. At a local Ford dealership, a 97 Camaro SS, and 99 Firebird Formula were traded in as clunkers.

Do they get the $4500 on top of the trade in value toward a new vehicle, or is it just the $4500?

[/ QUOTE ]But these people are just going by "trade-in value." The problem is that the average person is not near as knowledgeable on vehicle values and the dealership tells them the vehicle's worth next to nothing so they figure $4500 is way better. Remember there are a LOT of dumb, or should I say uneducated people out there.
