after working a major car center years ago ...I got a kick out of this cash for clunkers thing ..because dealers mark up the cars so much ...all you are doing is giving them a tax credit and they sell there cars for profit.. you get nothing..
when you see the tag it will say suggested manufactured retail price?? think about it ....suggested.. when the last time you got some thing for that ..most of the time things say ..SMRP.10.00. but you pay.7.99....then they add stuff like tires and radio and stripes.. and stuff.. and add them to the suggested price ..and add something like a ADM.. additional dealer markup..additional?.. wait you mean the SMRP is with a markup..hehe yup...plus the add ons are stuff that already on the car ..but you dont get them.. they took that stuff off to put on the extra stuff. on.then charge you for the new stuff also. the price includes the old stuff thats not on there.......lol.. now ..they are going to give you a cash for your clunker rebate...........
thanks for listening.... spelling might be off..
I buy cars for my friends ...the dealers ..see me and send the new car sales guys my way...lol
