heck, why not.. they get even better gas mileage then cars.. lets include new windows for houses as well.. and new heat pumps.. why should cars manufacturers and dealers get a special deal??
I found a 1960 something canary yellow Buick that is for sale for 1k. I was seriously considering buying this thing and trading it on a smaller car just for the rebate. I would much rather do that deal for a new Harley!
Paul the CARS program is crap. You shouldn't be rewarded for keeping an old piece of crap vehicle in the driveway. The truly poor can't afford the taxes and payments of a new car. I bet a lot of them were 3rd or 4th unused cars. I still don't understand why they are ruining the engines and such when they could be used as repair parts.
If it really was a huge economic plan there should have been stipulations that the new cars contain over 50% American parts or something.
I'm not too excited that my tax money is buying people new cars.
