So if I rip of my cladding put on 4 spare tires and pull my hood and turbo out and my passenger/back seat and pull the doors off and tail gate
Maybe drop a s10 engine in it >.>
I can get 4500$ plus what I can sell?
For a new car of course =P

Re: My Syclone Qualifies for C.A.R.S. Cash for Clunkers
First post here.
I'm not going to personally attack anyone, but here's my story: I opt'd to purchase a different Sy, but when I asked about this truck he informed me I'd have to cough up $9k. His rationalization was he could get $4500 CFC and then his local Chrysler dealer was willing to double it.
I don't know what Chrysler car/truck he's looking at, but if he needs a tow vehicle I'd assume a Dodge Ram. Not sure if he's checked out fueleconomy.gov, but none of the gasser Ram's get > 5MPG over a Syclone (unless I'm totally mistaken). Maybe a Cummins Ram can qualify, but who knows.
Obviously he's never felt strongly about these vehicles, because a true enthusiast would never do that. Some things have more sentimental than tangible value.

Re: My Syclone Qualifies for C.A.R.S. Cash for Clunkers
Arrrgh now im upset. Ok heres the deal, that cash for clunkers thing has already proven to be a joke. First on govt misbudgeting that the money should last 60-90 days, and ran out of money in i think 4 days, now there going to add more funds to the program. Wait Wait Wait. SECONDLY: Thats our tax dollars at work, Our money that well end up paying anyways in the end. Think im full of it, its already started. Gas is on its way back up, Cigarettes already went up a buck a pack, The energy taxes are already going up. etc. Now people that were doing ok are now slammed with another payment. These people that dreamed up this plan are the same people that cant make any other govt programs work, so why would this one last 60-90 days when they cant balance a national or state budget, heathcare, social security, a war, etc etc etc. If anyone has any negotiating skills at all they dont need a government voucher. Case in point. My last vehicle i bought was a 06 nissan titan. I bought it new at the end of 06. It is a crew cab le model 4x4 pretty much fully loaded. The sticker was $41,800. It took me probably 8-10 hrs of negotiating between 4 different evenings at the dealer. My out the door total price was $30,550. with ZERO down. Thats a bit better than a stupid voucher that limits your negotiating. When the stealership sees your voucher they arent as willing to move on the "sticker" price because they make you feel that you are already getting more than your trade is worht even though its not thier money going into your trade. Except chrysler??? Do you really think there going to double your voucher without burying that back into the contract? Think Again. Many many times ive seen deal write ups where they supposedly gave 8k plus on a trade, but deeper in the contract the customers were actually given one dollar for the trade. It happens everywhere. one major problem with the dealerships is the front end of the store employees make way too much money to show a profit even though they are raping the buying public. Example: a General sales manager at a larger dealership with bonuses and company perks included makes somewhere between $500,000-$1,000,000 a year, Finance managers make between $80k-250k a year service managers between 120k-200k, other department managers usually $100k plus. Thats just some of the picture. Most managers do not produce profits its up to the sales team, service writers, and repair technicians to make up for all these salaries. Thats why it costs $100 per labor hour at a dealer. And you wonder why the dealers across this country cant make a profit. Anyways sorry if i hijacked a thread, veered from the original subject or even mis-spelled a few words, but if you want to trade your syclone in then i guess go ahead, its yours and you own it. and in the end thats one less on the road and makes all others worth more. Our trucks would all be worth more if we just chose not to sell them. something to think about. Robb

Re: My Syclone Qualifies for C.A.R.S. Cash for Clunkers
I am willing to bet they emitted more emissions blowing up that one volvo motor than 10 clunkers out there still being used as reliable transportation.
Anf that volvo is nicer than 75% of the cars on my company's parking lot, the ford suv next to it too and a few more down the line.
If those are clunkers then the government idiots that approved the credit are way out of touch with reality. well we know they are but...
This is a waste of a program, it was dreamed up by some government idiot who get s paid to fleece the general public of all of their funds.
the fact that it was actually executed without ANY forethought of what might really happen and more restrictions on how the credit was to be applied then it MIGHT have worked.
If they approve one more fukkin penny for this BS they should all be put to the same demise.
What, your ankle hurts?
Lets saw off your leg at the hip with a stapler.
Feel good programs like this make me sick.
And trust me, we haven't seen the last of them in this wonderful 4 years just yet.
Anyone else see that after $182B AIG is still suffering?
Tell me that worked. sheeeesh.

Obama loves the unions. bail them out, sell them more cars. in a year or 2 these people wont be able to pay the car note and blame the gov't for making them buy new cars then they will get another voucher or some bull shit.

Re: My Syclone Qualifies for C.A.R.S. Cash for Clunkers
Is that what they pay out in Vegas? If so, I'm on my way. They don't pay anywhere close to that here. My Dealer Princeple is the owners son, and he's on $10k/month, plus a percentage of net profit, which we don't have any. General Sales Manager here usually pulls in around $90k. Our Finance Manager is on a $7k/month guarentee because if he was to make what he should be making at his normal percentage, it wouldn't be close to that. Our service manager is making a shade over $50k, and my meesly ass as the Parts Manager makes a shade under $50k on a good year. I have a friend that was a Parts Manager at a fairly large Chevy dealer here in town, and he wasn't even breaking $50k. Then again, we sell Hyundai and Suzuki here, which is hard to sell in a town where there are several factories from all the Big 3 here.

Re: My Syclone Qualifies for C.A.R.S. Cash for Clunkers
not to be a hard ass here but you think your going broke at those salaries?
There are laborers out there that do three times as much work for a lot less... I know that i work harder than any of people up above and don't even come close to those salaries.
i'm a firefighter and i know it's not gonna make me bill gates but it kills me to hear this kinda crap.
