Any VX's known to have join the CLUNKER Grave??

[lasturbo]

We had alot of clunker cars go through our VW and Audi store but would hope to never see a VX (and we did not). Anyone know of or seen a "turn in clunker VX" ? I hope not and what a shame if so.......

Larry, check-out the thread entitled: 99 Vehicross for sale in LA

This 1999 VX is the only one that "may have" actually gone and it's in your neck of the woods in LA. However, the original thread poster has never updated the thread and confirmed its final disposition. So nobody really knows for sure until we get confirmation from the actual VX owner(s). Good idea to start this thread and ask the forum.

I'd love to see some statistics on just what was 'clunked out'. From the little I saw at local dealers (just driving by) it looked like Ford Explorers were by far the most popular trade in.

I buy cars for several dealers. One of the Ford stores I work with has taken in, by my guess, about 60 "Clunkers". A quick count of the mix is as follows: 12 Explorers/Mountaineers, 10 misc trucks F-150/Silverado/Dodge, 6 Jeeps(2 Wranglers), the rest are a mix of cars ie. old Lincolns, Pontiacs,Cadillacs,and Fords. By the way, 6 Isuzus...no VX'S (none 4x4). FYI.

Sounds about what I expected (except for the Isuzus - didn't think that many would qualify).

I actually saw a guy trading in an old Caddy Limo (pretty ragged out) for a Kia minivan.

Thanks for posting your observation.

I drove past several dealerships this weekend and 3 had a dumpster set up and had real clunkers sticking out from the dumpster. Another had stacked up the clunkers on top of each other, 2 or 3 wide and made like a pyramid shape. Each one had a least 1 Explorer and I saw several Cherokees...you all have probably seen this around your area too. It just looked pretty funny seeing real cars sticking out of a dumpster and all stacked on top of each other!:laugho:

[handeeman]

They did that at the Ford store I buy for, two old cars sticking out of a big dumpster. They actually had an old gentlemen stop and ask if they were throwing them away he would take them.

All three years were OK'd for Clunkers:

1999 Isuzu VehiCROSS 3.5L 6cyl 4A 4WD Category 1 Truck
2000 Isuzu VehiCROSS 3.5L 6cyl 4A 4WD Category 1 Truck
2001 Isuzu VehiCROSS 3.5L 6cyl 4A 4WD Category 1 Truck

Does not make a diff. as it is over now. I hope some of the members got rid of other makes and took advantage of it along with the dealer incentives for 2008/2009 Closeouts.

'99's were not on the original list that impacted the most participants. It was only with the revised epa data the '99 fell prey.
