It has been nearly a month since the car-buying frenzy of the Cash for Clunkers program ended, and many area auto dealers are longing for the good old days of July and August.

The problem now isn't just a lack of buyers, it's a lack of inventory. One local Chrysler dealer has had little but trucks and suv's to sell since the program ended. Salesman buddy says late September, maybe late October, before any kind of substantial inventory rolls back in.

I have seen plenty of cars at local car lots. I knew after the clunkers program ended this would happen. Someone in so.ca was advertising used cars for sale from the cash for clunkers program. I bet alot of engines were not destroyed as they were suppose to.

ive sold 3 cars in 3 days, and delivering another today

we are a TINY chrysler dodge jeep dealership in a TINY town.. we price right and treat our customers like we would treat our friends and family, and they become our friends and family

the market for buying is ripe, and we get the snowbirds here...

you can sell your clunker trades, but you cannot get the money from the government

its up to the dealership, if they wanted to show someone 4500 and try to sell it for 6k before getting involved with the obamanation of an abortion of a program, then they had every right to
