Syclone CLUNKER how sad

[drdave69]

Unbelievable. That brings back fond memories of my 1993 Typhoon (white/white).

Coming out of college in '93, I thought the Typhoon and Syclone were the neatest thing since sliced bread!!!! I am not that old that these are considered clunkers!!!!!!!!!

I always wanted a Syclone too. Tough trucks It's the only truck I know of with SYC in the name

I now have the keys to the Syclone and should get the oK on Monday to get it home. I did get to drive it in the parking lot and it runs, shifts and drives fine but it wants to die in gear but just placing my foot on the gas in gear keeps it going, with or without the AC on. The seats look like new and it really is a solid truck. I would live to find a original black paint door for the because it looks like it still has all factory paint, I will know more when I clean it up. Survivor??

Maserati becomes just another clunker
August 19, 2009

.

In a sad-but-true story, the frustrated owner of a 1985 Maserati BiTurbo recently turned his engine-plagued car into the Cash for Clunkers program.

The program is designed to remove less-fuel-efficient vehicles from the road and spur the economy through car sales. Currently about 800,000 older-model 'gas guzzlers' have been traded in.

Go Subaru in Golden, Col., had quite a surprise, however, when the owner of the Maserati came in to trade the Italian sports car for a new Subaru Impreza. The Maserati was in near-mint condition with all leather, suede and wood trim, and had an odometer reading of only 18,480 miles. It did, however, have an engine problem that made it quit 10 minutes after starting.

The owner had been trying to sell the car for several months, and had not met with any success, so he traded it in for $3,500 credit towards purchase of the Subaru under the Cash for Clunkers program.

Under the terms of the program the Maserati will have to be crushed.

I would imagine that the dealer could ignore the paperwork, allow the $3,500 trade in to the customer and keep the car.
All the customer knows is that they received a $3,500 credit. A dealer would have to know this vehicle is worth more than that.
