the government wants you to dump your servicable old car and get a $30,000 new piece of debt.
they want us to spend like lifestyles of rich and famous but work for min wage.
debt slaves r us.
$30,000?!?! What are you buying? We are disposing of a barely drivable, much less serviceable gas guzzler for a new sub $16,000 car with far better gas mileage. For us, this deal couldn't have come along at a better time.
My wife's Civic died from a frozen engine and the battle scared Jeep Grand Cherokee (V8 11 mpg on a good day) that we would have had to pay for someone to junk, turned into a $4,500 trade in.
What's to prevent a person who owns a "clunker" from trading it in for a new car, then turning around and re-selling that car to the person who really wanted it (and did not have a "clunker" to trade in)?
How do you trade a vehicle in and then re-sell it?
I think you are asking how does one know that the vehicle traded in isn't resold by the dealership. According to the wife, who has become an expert of sorts on the program, the cars have to be junked and certified by the Government before the rebate is given to the dealership.
I'll keep my old trucks, they're easy to work on myself, and are quite serviceable. Exactly the reasons why I suppose there is some new legislation being contrived at this very moment that will make them illegal to drive in the near future.....rat bastards we have running the show, for our "own good" these days........
How do you trade a vehicle in and then re-sell it?
.
You sell the brand new vehicle you just bought. I guess my use of the term "re-sell" was confusing. What I really mean is: agree ahead of time with a friend/family member who needs a new car that you will buy the car of their choice on their behalf, they will recompense you for the expense of doing so, and then, after a brief interval to make things look good, you "sell" the new car to them.
Unless you really really want a new car, however, by the time you pay twice the sales tax and twice the license plate fees, and lose the private party sale value of the vehicle you're trading in, I would bet you wouldn't be that much ahead.
What are the specific rules about re selling the new car you purchase when trading in your clunker? Can a parent trade in the clunker, buy a new car and then gift it to their kid?
