I'm surprised Chairman Obama hasnt simply made it a law that all cars over 5 years old be destroyed and the owners forced to buy a new car. itll be his next economic "stimulus" package, aka the great leap foward

O man the .gov is retarded. Some of those cars could be parted out or even sold to someone who cant afford a new car even with the program but no lets pour **** in the motor to destroy it then crush the car so all it can now do is take up space at a land fill genius....not
After that then they get crushed, melted down, and made into other machines.

Jeez guys, if you love these cars on the C4C program, buy them when the owners list them for above $5000 before they decide to trade them in. All the whinners here will not buy a 1992-1995 SC300/400 with over 250K miles leaking oil, no working ac and a few messed up electronics and suspension parts. Can it be salvaged? yes! will YOU do it? No! Therefore it makes financial sense to the actual owners to get the most out or their cars.
Remember no one has a gun to the heads of the car's owners to trade in that program, they could just list it here on club lexus for $5000 so you can ***** and moan about the condition and how it isnt even worth $3000

If you do this to an SC you shouldnt own 1 to begin with in my opinion.

I was told that the cars do get parted out. Anything that can be salvaged from the interior, any accessories....etc. I think that the only thing they can't part out is mechanical parts. Engine related.
After that then they get crushed, melted down, and made into other machines.

The Cash for Clunkers program isn't just to "stimulate" the auto industry, but its also part of the Obama administration's ponzi scheme to raise fuel efficiency. What those idiots fail to realize is that just because a car is newer doesn't automatically mean its more fuel efficient or pollute less. The average MPG of cars has actually dropped by 10% since 1980 in spite of advancements.
