Separate names with a comma.
Sigh...That's the point. I don't want to sell it. Let me refer you to post #50.
MSRP seems to be about right in general. You may be able to negotiate a little on the cost of options and accessories. If you're a Costco...
Thanks, Mom! I appreciate the financial advice. I guess you caught me. I can't afford a car at all, but thought I could sneak one by. Seriously?...
Is that why I seem so unreasonable to you? Because you know what my expectations were for the deal and I wanted to make sure the dealer lost money...
To be honest, it has never been spelled out. The wording says the buyer can use the scrap value to negotiate with the dealer. Honestly, it won't...
Yeah, it's kind of a perfect storm of incentives at the moment. Otherwise, it doesn't make financial sense to buy new. Even with the incentives,...
Not to drag this out, but I have seen several people on this forum state that they agreed on a purchase price with their dealer and placed a...
Well, I'm guilty of derailing my own thread. I apologize to all involved. I do appreciate the information shared in this thread. I'm a little...
There's nothing to explain here that I don't understand. Yes, the dealer is willing to pay XXX dollars. Yes, I can take it or leave it. I left...
I'm not buying 200 new cars, so the benefit isn't there for me. I can sign papers in a barn if it'll save me $1,000. Matter of fact, it would be...
That's kind of the point. You don't "have" to make it easier for me but you do it anyway. It's called customer service. When you're on the...
The "new" combined mileage from fueleconomy.gov has to be 18 OR less. If your clunker gets more than 18, it does not qualify.
Let me try posting this again. It didn't show up last time. Having re-read my post, I can see how it was confusing. I apologize. What I was...
Actually, the scrap value belongs to the owner (the person who traded it in) minus $50 which is designated to the dealer for associated costs....
They did offer $1000 for trade. By "worthless", I mean they only offered that much because they are certain they can get that back by wholesaling...
Ummm yes. I understand that the truck I would be trading in for the CARS program would have been scrapped and could not be resold. ~MSRP is what...
This was a trade-in additional to the CARS program. My point is that if I have to sell it myself, what value does the dealer add to the car...
Oh, I understand they would wholesale it out. They only had used vehicles under 5 years old on their lot, so to them it is worthless. That's...
I wasn't interested in a new car either until this program. Then, after looking into it and driving a Prius, I was ready to purchase. The only...
Cash for Clunkers may be why they just added a premium. Just a thought.
