Everytime i saw the new's stupid footage, it was totally irrelevent. A few times they showed cars from the late 70's . I hate the media, they waste so much gas taking pics with blurred pics of kids feet at schools, and always a useless closeups.. like a murder scene, then they just take a pic of a street sign, and the crime tape...ohhh, so compelling. It takes a whole crew in huge vehicles just to do that. Ive seen alot of cream puff vehicles in the local pullaparrt...its infuriating.

I'm pretty sure the turbo Buick don't qualify for the program. Those are most likely all NA Buick's. Our cars were rated at 25 MPG. Then again there is a daily driven GNX near me with over 275K on it so maybe he traded it in finally
trade-in vehicles must get 18 or less MPG (some very large pick-up trucks and cargo vans have different requirements).

CARS program
So the list is from the GOV. Why start believing them now? It also states that (19) 1984 Riviera Convertibles and (1) 1985 Riviera Convertible were accepted for the program.......Where would 20 of these be to trade in??? Also, why would it be under ASC and not Buick Regal or Buick Grand National? ASC did not make the car Buick did.
I think the GOV is pulling a fast one with this list, as it is almost impossible to verify. If it is true then there are alot of stupid people out there.

Our cars are rated at a revised 18 mpg according to the cash for clunkers website. Which is just low enough to qualify. Also just because the car was regged and insured for the past year, doesn't mean it wasn't a wrecked car that was bought back and necessarily in good running condition.

Bs
Car Dealers are always looking for a fast BUCK! Seems a Dealer would know the value of a GNX is worth more then the $4500 rebate. Theres a car dealer here who has not received the GOV rebates on the cars traded in, he is selling them out right because he has a lot full of cars sitting in the back and he is losing money.

one of the cars on the list??? check this out
this is a rare continental r coupe...one of the cars on the GOV list...
PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS.......someone would be blind to trade in this car on a stupid $4500 credit.......even with a blown engine and 100k miles this car is worth $20-25k Bentley : Continental R:eBay Motors (item 170384961803 end time Oct-02-09 08:00:30 PDT) |

The reason is ASC certified the mileage and emissions for the vehicle .......thus ASC emissions label, window sticker....that is why it is listed under ASC not Buick..

this list is a total farce... two people turned in 06 stage 3 roush F150's ...yeah right... this list was put out to appease the tree hugging ****ers.. if a GNX made it into a dealership the pictures would have been all over the net by now...you'd have to bank on every guy at that dealer wasnt a car guy and didnt give a crap.. same with all the other exotics... BOGUS!!!

if you go back in the link to just cars.gov and click official information you cant find that PDF link on the site at all. idk if i'm over looking it but that list IMO is total bull**** and not legit at all. maybe piggybacked off that site IDK how the computer nerds do it but i'm sure thats whats happening.
nope nevermind i found it on the site....i still call BS though

If this is bogus, why would the government go to such a hassle to list rare unknown cars like the syclone/typhoon/TTA/GNX's ? Chances are they dont even know about those cars ---

At my dealership we traded a 93 Z29 with 58k red t-tops excellent car
very sad as straight trade it was worth 4k but as a clunker they got $4,500 Very very sad some kid would have loved to have that thing mom and pops mobile 100% stock. I think we must have done about 200 donuts in that poor thing before it let go .. LT1's are tuff !

Maybe a GN with a dealer installed ASC sunroof? My car has one of these and all of the reasearch I have done says that they put a ASC sticker on the car, usually in the glovebox.

They killed a lot of corvettes. It would have been nice to part a ton of those cars on that list. 51 1989 Trans Ams I hate to think of what some were.
