Will be very interesting indeed to see how the auto industry in US holds up now that the Cash for clunkers program has ended. Australians will be watching very closely.

In about 6 months the finance companies will be over loaded with vehicles that people can not afford. So I guess OBAMA will bail them out again, using our tax money.

New cars are great…the problem is dealing with the sleazeballs that sell them. Although not every car salesperson is a sleazeball…Bill Deitz @ Marietta Toyota is a shining exception to the rule.

I have been reading the bad press, the naysayers and the supporters comments. I am a gun toting, conservative constitutionalist. I traded my FORD Exploder (pun intended) and drove off in a new Honda Civic EX for 13,500.00 As an NRA member I received a discount from my participating dealer, and then traded a vehicle that got 14mpg, is on its third transmission, and starting to have all the problems of an American made car. My experience with Honda was pleasant, smooth and satisfying. I did try to buy a new Chevy truck, looked at a Ford, and was outright lied to by the local Dodge dealer. I surmise the real reason the auto industry is failing is that car dealers, car salespeople are so blatantly greedy, that they will do anything to earn a buck. Lie, cheat, bait and switch, tell you your credit is not good, etc. (I checked my score before, 750) I got the rate I wanted, terms I wanted, free floormats, a full tank of gas, mud guards and a hat.

The Ford people advertised F150’s for one price but then didnt have any on the lot. The Chevrolet dealer told me over the phone he had the truck I wanted on the lot, when I got there, they couldnt find it, then advised that the configuration I asked about couldnt be ordered. The Dodge people, well lets just say they should be working for organized crime with their strong arm tactics. Even Toyota had its share of problems. Their sales people coudlnt even find a Scion on their own lot.

The Honda dealer, had my car, well they had 5 versions, and I chose the one I wanted.

I went from 14mpg to 36mpg. My payment is less than my previous gas bill for commutting to work.

How is this thing any different from retarded crap like paying farmers to restrict crop production?

I’m guessing if they ever audit this program, they will find rampant fraud. But hey, it’s only tax payer money.

Right??

You liberal idiots are just that, IDIOTS! Its good for the environment – are you kidding me! Just what the heck are they putting in those engines to freeze them up – WATER? No, something toxic to say the least! – Yeah that helps the enivironment! And just where are they putting those clunkers – up your @ss? No, in JUNK YARDS! Again – Yeah that also helps the environment! Just like those new lightbulbs that have so much Mercury in them, they can take out(kill) a small city! But you liberals say “Its good for the environment”
Liberals – just a bunch of STUPID@SS idiots!
