Conflicting cash for clunkers info ?
I know this is an old topic but I found something interesting....
I was searching the internet for final info about how many Corvettes were destroyed in the Cash for Clunkers program. Between the internet search and searching on different forums through old threads I found different totals. Does anyone know what the correct info is? 243? 131? 123? Corvettes destroyed???? An internet result said 243 Corvettes were destroyed, and that site provided a chart. Model Year # of Clunkers Low Value 1984 12 $6,000 1985 91 $6,000 1986 66 $4,250 1987 63 $5,100 1988 6 $8,500 1989 5 $8,000 --------------------------------------------------- Autoweek reported that 131 '84 to '95 vettes were turned in for cash for clunkers. ----------------------------------------------------- Car and Driver reports that among the cars traded in on the "Cash for Clunkers" program, 123 were Corvettes from 1984 to 1995. -------------------------------------------------- Another search results Here are the 123 C4s and the new vehicles they were traded for. The third column is the mileage of the C4 that was traded in. 1985 Corvette 144611 Chevrolet 2009 Cobalt 1985 Corvette 53095 MINI 2009 Cooper S 1989 Corvette 77928 Nissan 2009 Sentra FE 1994 Corvette

Clearly the majority of them were the older 80's ones that were probably push-pull-drag-or-tow vettes with blown head gaskets and slipping transmissions etc.
I know a few gems went to the program, and even then, I think a few people at the dealerships scooped them up if they were worth $3500, but does it matter if it was 100 cars or 200? Statistically small amount and most of those cars were a half a notch above junkyard parts cars anyhow. It was one thing when people coveted pre emissions era big blocks and high compression, but since about 1990, vettes (and pretty much most cars) keep getting better and better so I don't worry about it too much. The future classics are at the dealership right now. |

I'm not sure what you guys are arguing about, the 1993 is clearly the best year ever.

Have faith Wayne. America has a very serious debt to pay off and I mean serious. Your GDP = your debt as we speak with 50% or more owing to the Chinese. I'm afraid the guy you have running the joint hasn't got a clue. There's going to be some hard times ahead for my American cousins, but it is imperative, to both our countries, that you guys get this under control
