Actually, if it's non-operational it doesn't qualify. The plan is to get running vehicles off the road. If it doesn't run, then it's not really contributing to the problem.
The basic criteria is that the car must run, you have to have had it registered for a year, it needs ot meet certain requirements from cars.com to be classified as a clunker.
Whether you get $3500 or $4500 depends on what type of vehicle you are trading in, and what you are buying. You get more cash for your car if you get something much more fuel efficient. if you get another truck, you may only get the $3500. If you traded your gas guzzling SUV for a 40MPG hybrid, you would prob get $4500.
There is also a $40K cap on the vehicle you buy.
An even scarier part of the CFC deal is this
YouTube - Glenn Beck: The Man Who Conned America is Now The Biggest Hacker in The World?Barack Obama
To get the full $4,500 I was told the car had to be non-operational. I also saw a Lincoln commercial advertising their new $50k SUV, but if someone is willing to trash their car for $4,500 or less they obviously Couldnt afford a $50,000 vehicle so who does this c4c deal really help? Unless you get a Kia, and let's face it, if a company does a "buy 1 car get another free" deal then is what they're selling really worth it?
Wrong.. Anything before 2001 and can't be older then 25 years old..
Over on corral there is a thread to some guys who work at dealerships.. At this one dealership, someone traded in a MINT condition 85 or 86 GT for the C4C deal....
Here it is..

why doesn't Obama start rolling around in a Prius of a Fusion Hybrid? Sad day for the fox
I get about 10 MPG and ain't no politician gonna tell me what to drive.
A lot of higher income middle aged people are trading in cars their kids drove on this cash for clunkers thing..
BTW I HATE this program.. It is a pain in the ass for the techs.. we have to drain every fluid from the car and then seize the motor and push it out and take the gas we took from them and put it in used cars..
All for 2 hours...
my gf said this program is like killing fat puppies.
and well.... shes right....
is it bad to completely face palm every move obama makes?
I didn't know they also had the motor destroyed, I was kind of assuming the cars could still be parted out at the JY. Makes me sick thinking of some of the perfectly good motors that will get trashed.
This a**ol deserves to get shot. That is a clean 4 eye. Much better condition than mine. This government sucks. I get about 10 MPG and ain't no politician gonna tell me what to drive. Instead of gas guzzler Suburbans and Cadillac limos why doesn't Obama start rolling around in a Prius of a Fusion Hybrid? Sad day for the fox
