Cash for Clunkers Trade-In Report Reads Like a Death List
Today the official tally of Cash For Clunkers trade-ins was released. Most of the cars given up to sacrifice to the automotive GOD’s are predictable – but there are a few surprising (newer) models. Some of the more shocking vehicles on the Cash 4 Clunkers trade in list include 2004 & 2005 Chevy Astro Vans, hundreds of El Caminos (bastards! hang them by their thumbs!) and a…ready for this…2008 Dodge Avenger.
Now I know the Avenger isn’t the hottest automobile to come off the CDJ line in years, but I had no idea it fit in the category of tradable cars, with gas mileage, etc. Perhaps it was a sympathy trade for whoever bought one.
In all the C4C .pdf reads like a death list. Thousands of cars were junked in the United States alone – not counting the other countries who participated. In the end, this plan may have helped auto assembly lines for a short time, but did the buyers/dealers involved with C4C really get the best of this government initiated program?
it lookes a wonderfull car.
