you know the best part about C4C??????? it actually cost the american tax payers....$24,000 per vehicle don't even get me started on obamacare and cap-n-tax!
This sent me down a path that I would have rather not gone... there are SO many posts on youtube of 'stangs getting C4C'ed...
The program, ehh could care less about it, sad to see cars that could have gone to good people with no money get destroyed, but this car was a stock 5.0. They basically ruined a stock ford block if you think about it? even if the stuff did damage the heads, so what E7s are a dine a dozen junk? I guess it sucks, but in the end this is a stock fox, worth nearly nothing in the eyes of everyone but Mustang people, and the parts that actually got ruined are mainly useless to those of us who care about these cars.
I just read that while the yards can sell all of the parts of the clunkers minus drivetrain, they are only allowed 6 months for each car before it has to be crushed.
We have a lot of cash 4 clunkers here. Once the car is here, we have 9 months to dismantle and keep what we want to sell. Once the 9 months is up, the bodies must be crushed and the titles are sent to the state. You cannot sell them to repair. The list we have got is large but the ones that blew my minds were: 1. 99 Navigator...pretty nice. 2. 99 Sieraa 1500 4x2...mint. 3. -2- 98 Mark VIII's very nice cars. 4. 01 Expedition. 5. 05 Escape. The list goes on, we got tons of them, but these ones above made me ask myself why? lol
screw the stangs... i feel bad for the guy who had to do that to the GNX that hit the C4C line... that dude needed a barret 50cal to the back of his head
Heh, thats a response I would expect from one of my sons teenager buddies. Looking at the car, and not being there personally, it looks like the original owner could have sold the car to someone who really cared/wanted it for REAL cash, maybe even more than the C4C would allow. Even the ugliest Foxes can be made pretty!
