And many of those destroyed cars were still in good condition
Many of them. I was buying a bunch of C4C parts from the wrecking yards and “Cash for Clunkers” was criminal stupidity.
I would have loved to see those who advocated the program stripped of the right to ever own a motor vehicle of any type and forfeit, without compensation, those they owned.
And many of those destroyed cars were still in good condition
I heard about a smug liberal couple that turned in a perfectly good SUV for Cash for Clunkers in order to buy a subcompact death trap. Later, they saw their vehicle on the dealer’s lot with a mark up of nearly twice what they received.
The dealer gave them their “liberal-feel-good” cash out of his own pocket because he knew their SUV was a very popular model. They were angry because they had believed that evil SUV was destroyed but instead the dealer would make a lot of money off of it.
