Default Cash for Clunkers (HURRY)

Hi Ya'll

I just got my car and I love it... This is just for people that are selling their cars for under $4500... Besides, my 99 SC400 does not qualify since the website claims that I get 19miles/gallon. Anything 18miles/gallon and under qualifies.

http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/CarsSearchIntro.shtml

I played around with the year range and looks like 1997 is the cutoff that will qualify..... I post this thread because I see tons of SC300/400 on craigslist that are going for well under $4000. This could be your chance.

So hurry.. 92-97 SC300/400 your cars qualify for this program.

Good luck!!!

just remember that the car has to have been insured and owned for atleast one full year. And that they will give you $4500 if the new vehicle gets average of atleast 10mpg more. $3500 otherwise

Hurry? To get your 1UZ seized up and your SC crushed into a cube? All for a $4500 rebate on a Ford focus?

Ended at 8pm EST.

Anyone who traded in their SC on this deal running or not will be perma-banned. I should ban just for even thinking about SC's in the clunker program.

Anyone want to see this happen to their engine.

You are going to love this Matt. So I was searching for sc300's for sale in the area and I noticed a 5 speed sc300 with 150k was listed but no price. I emailed thinking I could possibly pick up another car and got this in response.

Sam,



This car was destroyed. It was part of the CARS Program Cash for Clunkers. We could not sell the vehicle it was listed in the inventory until the salvage company took the vehicle off our hands as required.



Thank you for your interest"

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
