How in the world could those be accurate? I would have payed more than 4500 for most of those lol

[esi_atlanta]

850 sexy... ... i love it ... +1 for u sir ...

[Revmaynard]

That hurts my feelings a little bit. I would have given $4500 for any of those, honestly. Especially the Typhoon. lolol

[Nerdsrock22]

Yeah I think the Typhoon was one of the rarest up there. That's about the only one I would have wanted to actually own and maintain.

[AnthonyF]

I do enjoy seeing an 850 from time to time on the hwy. Wish there were more orrr if they came out with a new one...

-Ant.

[Revmaynard]

Mhmm. I still plan on owning one some day. That or a Syclone. lol

[Nerdsrock22]

Added production numbers and/or price.

[Revmaynard]

That makes it even worse! lol

[Nerdsrock22]

That makes it even worse! lol

That's some insane depreciation for the Bentley.

[DUBSf22c]

http://www.cars.gov/files/official-i...n-vehicles.pdf

NOT A SINGLE WRX/IMPREZA got traded in

[DUBSf22c]

THIS GOT CRUSHED

[sleepys4]

I'm trying to figure who traded in the Bentley and the Martin.

[Nerdsrock22]

I would have bought that TVR for $4,000 and put it in my living room as a couch.

[uproot]

I see some eagle talons... dont cry tibby

[DUBSf22c]

U see the amount of Odysseys and Passports..

this pisses me off
635csi 1989 13



Oh and if you see the amount of cressidas crushed. That also helps to explain why they just went up in price

[Nerdsrock22]

How would a CRX have been crushed? They had to be under 18mpg?

[Revmaynard]

Yea, Civic's mpgs are too good to qualify.

[uproot]

Maybe it was that one with the V8 swap

Yea, Civic's mpgs are too good to qualify.

Yeah i know my point exactly.

[Nerdsrock22]

Yea, Civic's mpgs are too good to qualify.

That list says that those cars are not necessarily reviewed or approved, e.g. somebody ain't gettin' paid for the CRX.

[DUBSf22c]

they dont have to be 18mpg. the gap had to be a certain amount. The website has that up.

[DUBSf22c]

they mean they havent PAID the dealships. Jim ellis is owed like 1.5mil

[Nerdsrock22]

they mean they havent PAID the dealships. Jim ellis is owed like 1.5mil

Yeah that's what I meant. I thought it had to be at most 18 to qualify for the program?

Cause I ran my s10, and it had 19mpg, and didn't qualify. And I was looking to buy an insight.

hrmm check the website see if the rules are up

[Christopherr]

Fudge! GNXs!? Good examples bid for 30 grand...seen one for 90! Our dumb goverment just got dumber!

[Nerdsrock22]

hrmm check the website see if the rules are up

Your trade-in vehicle must:

• have been manufactured less than 25 years before the date you trade it in and, in the case of a category 3 vehicle, must also have been manufactured not later than model year 2001
• have a "new" combined city/highway fuel economy of 18 miles per gallon or less
• be in drivable condition
• be continuously insured and registered to the same owner for the full year preceding the trade-in

[2003Accord]

If it had to be before 01 then how are all those 03-04 cars there? wtf

[Nerdsrock22]

If it had to be before 01 then how are all those 03-04 cars there? wtf

Dealerships effed up.

Or just went ahead and made the deal, knowing it might not work out. If the deal was contingent on that trade-in, they may have just factored the $3k-$4k into the final price.

[j0nbunklah0m]

Crushing my babies.

[awestun]

ugh. People disappoint me.

[STI101]

Damn this is horrible. Cash for clunkers are making a generation of cars extinct. Is there a way to purchase a car before it is destroyed? My dad had an 850 when I was a kid and that shit was awesome. I used to sit on his lap and drive it around the neighborhood not knowing what a bad ass car it really was....sigh.

[2003Accord]

Nope. Its illegal. I was reading and its a 15k$ fine per offense if you get caught.

[MrBiggiee]

Fudge! GNXs!? Good examples bid for 30 grand...seen one for 90! Our dumb goverment just got dumber!

YES!!!.....GNXs are easily worth 100,000

[Jenson]

The dumbest fn way ever to buy a new car. They could have sold all those cars at auction and owed china less money, not to mention all the little dealerships and junkyards could be making money off them. It coulda been a win win for the economy but instead it was a quick way to sucker people into buying a new car so they can roll out new models and end of the year sales and all the tools can think wow, the govt helped me get a new car, I love them. Good luck finding a decent priced used car now, or used parts from a junk yard.

Actually, Pull-A-Part, gets a bunch of clunkers in. I go up there almost daily and I know that they get at least 10 per day. So its not like we totally get out of the deal.

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

Look at that 91 M3 and all those M5's. Holy shit...a fuckin 3000GT Spyder !!....wow....

Look at all those Merkur's....TVR....93 Mazda RX7.....couple of Maseratis, some Audi S4's....

[DieselNuts]

they dont have to be 18mpg. the gap had to be a certain amount. The website has that up.

Not true. 2 different places wouldnt accept our 94 Pontiac Bonneville because it gets like 22mpg with mixed driving. They said the MPG that was rated by the EPA is the number they go by and it had to be <18mpg

Fudge! GNXs!? Good examples bid for 30 grand...seen one for 90! Our dumb goverment just got dumber!

the guy that gave the car up is even more dumb than the entire govt...

[BLK JDM]

Please no killing of the GNX!!

[Crazy Asian]

wow scion xd 2008 for 4500? You get like 10k at least still.

1997 Supra? Who's stupid enough to do that?

[Bigt8aford]

Wow, at least no 1994-96 Impala's were crushed.
