Oh god yeah. my friend and me punched a rod through the oil pan in his jeep. Finished the trail, drove back, pulled over when we finally diagnosed the problem, AND drove home 10 miles away. Half a quart left, but didnt hickup once. IMO, the only thing Jeep ever did right was their motor, everything else sucks

I see nothing wrong with this program.
I've been trying to sell my 96 Trans Am for ages. I've had no luck.
I currently lease a 2009 Mercedes C300 4-matic and a 2009 ML 320 Blutec for the wife.
I would like a 2010 Hyundai Genisisi Coupe 4 cyl turbo automatic. If I wasn't leasing the C-class right now, I would trade the Trans Am in for the Genisis in a heart beat.
Do I want to see the Trans Am crushed/ destroyed, no, not at all....I would love an f body enthusiast to buy it from me..... but if I get no buyers.... and want a brand new car that gets way better gas mileage and has a great warranty.....and a get a guarenteed $3500 for it.... can you blame me?
I think it is very sad to see incredible cars like a Typhoon or Cyclone being destroyed as I feel these a dream vehicles for me..... but I can't blame the person.

If someone traded in a typhoon or cyclone for the c4c they are the biggest idiot ever. even as a beat up pile of crap its worth more than 4500. IF i was a salesman and someone tried to do that id offer them 5k for the typhoon because i know its worth a decent amount and could resell it or something.

To us older cars have value. To "normies" an old car is just that.

Peoples stupidity make those cars all the more rarer. The Maserati was probably a 3500GT or something pos in the world of Maserati, still as you said, I'm sore more then 4500 could of been obtained for it.
I see peopel selling C4's for 8-9K still, but they jump at an offer to get up to 4500 on the car. Come to me wiht one for 5K, and I might buy it before you go to scrap it, I could use some parts before I part it out ( rather part it then drive the yuppie moblie)

Just looked at my co workers computer real quick, had a white GTA, and it was MINT, I mean G-E-M inside and out.....and it fell victim to the program. bunch of pics of the car and everyone crowded around it in disbelief they had to seize the motor in it. what a **** off to trade that in.

I heard that you can negotiate a trade in towards a new car and then they add the CFC cash on top of the trade! If this is true, then that's why someone would trade a Vette or Syclone. So for example, if they give you $10K in trade value on your car and then another $3500 for CFC you make out pretty good. The whole program was conceived and executed poorly. It now takes a lot of used cars that people would normally pay under $2500 for off the street and forces people to pay more for basic transportation or not be able to afford it at all.

I think the dealers are thinking they will get reimbursed by the gov't for the vehicle trade value plus the rebate. It doesn't make any sense, but then neither does the program. I've heard of some high end cars traded in and engine destroyed so either a lot of people are misunderstanding the program or a bunch of dealers are about to get royally screwed by the gov't.

Jeff if dealers think that they are stupid.
You gotta remember cars like a decent DD quality 3rd gen or early C4 may still have better open market value but the trade-in value probably is not $4500. And not everyone wants to be bothered with private party sales, they'd rather not deal with the inherent trouble & risk that comes from dealing with strangers. So C4C they go. I can totally understand. Not everyone loves their car. You guys are not the societal norm when it comes to cars.
