x2

 

[moneypit]

a GNX didnt qualify pl;us there are Neons, and aspires on this "official" list plus 2 gmc syclones scrapped are missing

 

[CableGuy]

x3... * 2008 Foose F-150 (2)

You would only get 4500 bucks... you're telling me that 50K truck is only worth less than 4500 bucks to sell or trade in???

 

[jdustu]

That DB7 was a 130k car new, there is no way this list is accurate....it's so off, it's got to be a joke?

The Bentley was over 300k new...:lol:

The GNX would quailfy, but I still think it's bullshit. Who wouldn't re-vin a reg to make it a GNX.

 

[Swifster]

2001 was the last year that was eligible. So anything 2002 and newer wasn't eligible. I agree that the list is bullshit.

 

[adam351]

i also have a hard time believing this list

 

[jdustu]

hmmmm

NOTE: We find it hard to believe that many vehicles in the list below were actually destroyed through the Cash for Clunkers program, and while they may be officially on the list, their inclusion is more likely explained by an error in the submission process, typos or dealerships that managed to game the system.

 

[FlyLike]

hmmmm

ahhhhh yes, the fine print :thumbsup:

 

[dirtybird]

Um yeah, no one would CFC a car even a vette where they could get minimum of 13k or it. Please delete this thread :lol:

 

[DSG SNAKE]

No dealer would be dumb enough to cfc those cars, they would take them on a trade in, give the customer their 4500 and sell the traded in car for profit. Bs list.

 

[wikdsvt]

maybe they were smashed but still ran.??? dunno.

 

[cjmatt]

Um yeah, no one would CFC a car even a vette where they could get minimum of 13k or it. Please delete this thread :lol:

my buddy over at pat milliken ford said they took in a 91 C4 for C4C

 

[JpMotorsports]

That list dosent seem right at all. who would destroy a 30,000 dollar plus car for 4,500 bucks? that list is total bull

 

[dirtybird]

my buddy over at pat milliken ford said they took in a 91 C4 for C4C

Well that's a 91 C4. :lol: They aren't worth much more than..7k? :dontknow:

 

[ItsAllAboutTheT&A]

I agree. This list is BS.

 

[boosted gt]

i knew some allantes would meet the grim reaper. going from big $$ GM flagship vehicle to a clunker lol.

 

[mikesfastss]
