our detailers have been VERY busy these last few days..cleaning over 20 cars a day for delivery. We got SLAMMED today, as the sales people called to have their customers finish paperwork and such before the 12 O'clock deadline. We are starting the clunker destruction tomorrow with all the cars we have. Draining the oil/coolant, driving them to the "bowling alley/graveyard" and if they don't blow by then, we got something like 55 gallons of liquid glass to fully destroy them. Then, off to the crusher.

Just goes to show that they were not prepared for the mass amounts of people that wanted to cash in. $4,500 plus the 2-4k discounts on new cars, people were naturally going to flood the market on this deal. A government program should never be "suspended" because they are going "oh shit we didn't think it would go this fast what do we do?". I was just talking to a guy at work about this just before it started. I knew there would be some type of hang up in this and it wouldn't be a seamless effort. Sometimes quick effort to a problem presents issues the government doesn't account for.

My old lady's dealership took in a decent looking Buick Regal T-Type in the cash for clunkers :(

Along with a sweet Mighty Max and D50

Walser Hyundai

It has 138K miles, couple of minor dents, and it looks like it was keyed but I'd still rock it.
