The ex car salesman blog shares exactly why they stopped the program. Even reports that some sales managers are calling asking for the money back because they were denied the rebate when the final paperwork was submitted but their car was already ruined by dumping a solution in the engine. They now have no car. Scary. See: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ml9sdo" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/ml9sdo</a> Read this article: The Real Reason for the “Cash for Clunkers” Suspension.

And it drained a billion dollars from the Treasury! It boggles the mind. So, if everyone in the country who's driving a piece of junk and was willing to go into hock to buy a new car ($4,500 is a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of a new vehicle) actually bit on this offer, would the federal government go broke? Tells you something about the pent-up demand for cars, doesn't it...especially considering that the trade-in car had to be a real, certifiable piece of junk. My son's car, which is so old it barely runs, wasn't eligible.

However, he had a problem finding a charity that would accept it as a donation. Most of the charities have limits on how old the car donated can be, and his car was "too old" to be donated. If I remember correctly his car was 10 years old, perhaps slightly less than that. He tried NPR and a number of other organizations before discovering one that accepted his car and even picked it up at his home, the Salvation Army.
