All I remember is that they killed a Syclone.
Cash for clunkers
Sure didn't help.
But thanks to the economy slowly crashing, the used car market will take a nose dive.
See heavy industrial machinery and sales; usually the leadingg signal to a crash and its been downhill for a while. Last thing to hit is generally consumer goods.

>if they were worth fixing people would fix them, not scrap them
We had a very similar scheme here in the UK called "the scrappage scheme". You trade in your car and you get a £5000 voucher for a new car.
People weren't scrapping shitboxes, they were scrapping cars in good, running condition because they were worth less than 5 grand. All kinds of fantastic cars, relatively new hatchbacks, high milage mercs, offroad trucks with bad bodywork but solid engines etc were all scrapped so their owners could get a new Ford Focus.
The used car market is only just starting to recover, for years it was nearly impossible to find a cheap used car that wasn't beat to shit or hideously overpriced
It's absolutely ridiculous.
Let's take perfectly good running cars out of the market (have fun finding something affordable poor people lmao) so people will buy a NEW car and """stimulate""" the economy.
Government intervention always fails.
oh i was confused. i thought this was some cash incentive for new car buyers to trade in whatever they had. not some federally subsidized scrapping thing
i'm not from usa or uk
The (((Big Three))) sure liked it.
