You do know they seize the engines and make the vehicles unusable after they are traded in.

[Scorpion]

Damn not the 850.

[ptack]

So 31 mailmen traded in their mail trucks. I wonder what they bought.

They have to be running and in decent condition

[kyleb350]

OMG WHYYYYY. I heard they pour some kind of silica gel into the engine that basically ruins it.

[JoosyJoos]

Just think if they stipped out those 327 supra engines and put them on ebay they could have saved some money lol

Wow, I can't imagine how many good condition e30's, e36's, e39's, etc. there must have been that are now destroyed forever.

And WTF the 8-series? Such a baller car.

[Master Deep]

I have no idea why anyone would clunk their car that's worth a lot more by just trading it in like usual. wtf.

P.S. We turned in our 1998 Dodge Caravan Sport for $3500 (worth 1500), and picked up an 09 CR-V. This is by far one of the most fun SUV's I've ever driven handling wise. It only weighs 3500 lbs with 4wd. It's shorter than my 3er and I can just whip it around corners so fast. The I4 is a bit underpowered though in a straight line.

Car has to be drivable for it to qualify. So it can't be a complete wreck. Then they kill the engine and send it to get scrapped for metal.

here is a video of the destroying a motor for cash for clunkers

so gay

[MisterSkiMask]

That ol' I-6 put up one hell of a fight to live.

[FStop7]

Thanks, liberals. Job well done. Idiots. Can't wait to vote all of you out.

[Spaceman Spiff]

It doesn't matter what they put on that list. Who's gonna trade in a Supra for $4,500? They could have put 2009 Veyron on the list for that matter.

[jopa489]

Whole thing bothers me. Seeing all these cars scrapped (on our dime, nonetheless) just plain sucks.

Now there's no somewhat-decent cars for lower income people to buy (high school/college kids, etc), economy is still hurting, and it cost billions. Good deal, good deal.

Maybe I'll move to Germany. I hear people know how to drive over there too.


(Yes, this post is dripping with sarcasm and yes I'm aware Germany's Cash-for-Clunkers preceded the U.S.)

[Sebastian_e90]

What a shame.

[akak1997]

1997 Aston Martin DB7 Volante???
ARE You Kidding me?

[503Alex]

This is so depressing!!! Who would trade a MKIV Supra or an M3, S4, GNX etc. for $4500??? How can I get some of these idiots to sell me their cars instead of wasting them?

[san~man]

87 GNX, what a damn shame
