i just got my truck for my 16th b day and i love it so much. and i just fround out that it was part of that "cash for clunkers deal" and why would any turn in this 97 f150 as clunker.? any one know??

 

Cash for clunkers was just to get cars and trucks that were bad on gas off the roads. Every car turned in for the cash for clunkers program was suppose to be destroyed to get gas guzzlers off the road, so i dont know how they would have sold it to you. But there could be nothing wrong with it execpt for the low mpg's we all enjoy.

 

They might be able to resell rather than destroy it because they never got the CFC credit. Dont know but I heard a lot of companies were having a hard time getting the credit after they sent the car in.

 

From my understanding, they could be parted out, as the title was somehow marked that it could never be plated, etc. again. There is a salvage yard in Indianapolis that has a whole huge lot full of CFC vehicles.

 

well my granddad owns the dealership. so idk how they got it out. but its got a cherry bomb exuset and it crakes when i reav it up. and i got the 4x4 off road kind its sweet and i did a truck pull with my friend who has a 2005 f250 desal and i out pulled him. and i am going to put a 3" inc body lift and 33" i would put a pic but i dont know how

 

It's not a two tone green/silver 4x4 supercab Lariat is it?

My dad got $4500 CFC for his '97 when he bought his '09 F-150 from Bowditch in Newport News.

It had been a work truck for nearly all it's life and there was no way anyone would have paid $4500 for it.

 

no, its black with the step on the side and my granddad owns penisula honda on mercery blv and idk how much he paid for it though.

 

The whole cash for clunkers, was a waste, other than helping move vehicles. The number one vehicle purchased under it was the F150. Chevy and Dodoge fullsize trucks were also in teh top ten.

 

Well, like Alex said up above if the dealership never put in for the govt credit then the vehicle is theirs to with as they wish.

In this case, a $4500 birthday present. That is assuredly what came off the sticker on a new Honda.

Congratulations.
And you are certianly lucky it wasn't my dad's old truck.
I just know that one is sitting up at the Campbell's Soup plant.

 

yeah, really but i got a truck out of it. so it was worth it for me. and i would really love to get a rapter. that would be sweet. but i used to hate ford but know that i got one that all i will buy for every i am the only one in my family who has a ford. my dad has a 67 camro ss, 00 trans am ws6 and a c6 vette and my bro has a 92 hnda accrod with a pralude motor in it(stuped ricer). i LOVE ford!!

 

yeah me and my bro got into to old toyata trucks and had like a small dimo derby before we had to blow them up
