The dealers blew them up. Not the boneyards.i have a buddy whos father own a local junk yard, he way telling me that during the c4c thing they wouldnt use the glass bead stuff in the 4.0l and the 5.0l because it just would not work, they would just drain the oil, start it up, and leave a brick on the gas peddle, and walk away.
Depends on where you were. Dealers were allowed to farm out that part with the right paper work. The dealer I was working at during C4C contracted that part out to PADE auto auction and several local junk yards because we didn't have the time or space to blow the engines and then have a bunch of blown up cars sitting around.The dealers blew them up. Not the boneyards.
NO DOUBT! The idea sounded good, but snobs were trading up perfectly good cars to by KIAs and Hyundais That DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to Stimulate American Manufacturing! Really some uptight prick that "clunks" a 2005 Explorer Limited with 34K miles on it to buy a F*cking KIA!??? AHHHH It's enough to make me have a STROKE!Cash for clunkers is one of another big scams placed on the American people by the government. The people thought they were getting a good deal, getting up to 4500, for their clunker. In reality they got stuck with a brand new foreign "eco" pos, that produced more pollutants being made, then their old clunker engine would of. Im all for going green, but this is completely stupid. The people who traded in that explorer got scammed big time; that's worth way more than 4500.
