Heres an old video made by my main man Bogar describing his thoughts on the the program while it was in full effect.

So you guys think used cars would be cheaper now or more expensive?

I remember my boy worked at a dealership at the time it was going on and said it was the scam of the century and to get in on it. He left the dealership soon after the program ended actually

more expensive. i use manheim and the prices they want for the cars are just :x. destroy the supply to artificially increase the prices. this + sandy didnt help either. gotta be worried about flooded cars and stuff.

There is no question about it... Used cars are more expensive because at least 10 years worth of future used cars that would have slowly made it to the junkyard one at a time were all mandated to be completely destroyed a matter of weeks.

Cars that were in perfect running order that would have lasted another 100k were trashed because they fit the govts description of a "clunker" :{

Since theres some car guys in here - my goal is to save up $ to purchase a car in the Summer of 2014. What is a good goal to reach by then in terms of getting myself a car that should last quite awhile. 10k? 15k?

I would definitely be going used btw
