Cash for clunkers
Pretty similar situation for me as well. Look at it as a taxpayer getting something for his taxes rather than a non-contributing societal leech being handed OUR money.

Cash for clunkers
A friend has an older Impala, I don't know what year, but the big Pillsbury Dohyboy looking model form the eightys or ninetys. He bought it new, the car has like 250K and still runs fine but the body is kaput. He went to a Chevy dealership wanting to trade it in on the Cash for Clunkers program. The dealer told him that because of the zero trade in value of his Impala it didn't qualify, Is this correct? Made the friend mad he said he'll just keep driving the old Impala. He can easily pay cash for a new car so that did'nt nix the deal.
Another friend whom I know thru church is a salesman for a Chevy dealer, he said there is six to eight hours of paperwork involved in the C for C trade program, seems pretty typical for a government run deal.

Frank, there many conditions for cfc. They have to be less than 25 years old, be owned by that person and insured for at least one year prior. Trade In has nothing to do with it----my buddy has a new recycling yard. He buys cars from dealers for $300 each. He said last year he recycled 1200 cars. This year---a little more than half way----he's done that many and more. Google cash for clunkers eligible and you'll see the rules. 6-8 for paperwork---bs. I hear it takes 45 min to an hour. I hear it takes hours to get a gov't response for approval.

I can't blame anyone for wanting to "stick it to the man" and get some benefit for the taxes paid, especially since it seems these days that in most cases the people who benefit from government programs don't pay taxes.
Unfortunately the "man" being stuck with the bill probably hasn't been born yet 
Talk about taxation without representation.

I'm not saying they're liars--maybe 'zaggerating it A LOT. They couldn't stay in business. PLUS, if I used your buddys' calculations that would make it impossible to explain the 280,000 cars already sold---that would be about 200,000 DAYS.
You're a fart smeller---ahmean...smart feller...think about it Frank: If a dealership has 5 salespeople--that means they're only selling 5-6 cars a day? I don't believe it. Or maybe it's like when my FORMER computer place charged me three hours to download and copy my stuff to another computer--all they did was plug in ONE cable, press a few keys and walk away---then go do the same to bunch of other customers  .
Maybe your hearing aid was going dead and...
Gimme a hug now!

EW:
I don't know how many new cars per day they sell, but doubt it would be more than two or three, their bread and butter is pickup trucks, used cars and used pickups. I think they have three sales people. This is a small dealership, but been there since Moby Dick was a minnow.
The friend with the old Impala is almost as anti Obama and his henchmen as me, so he may be finding any reason to pick the thing apart too.
Member, I tried to warn ya before the election???

I just remembered this cash for clunker program today and how bizarre it seems that it was ever done....perfectly good cars being bought by the government...dealers having to pay to freeze up the engine blocks and scrap them......
Three years later ....a once in a lifetime nutso occurrence....
