[NSRCA-discussion] New Vehicle

Fri Aug 14 07:34:02 AKDT 2009

Same here. My old '94 Ford van qualifies for the CFC, but it is still in great shape and would be a great vehicle for someone. I just had all the belts/hoses replaced, and had the exhaust manifold gaskets replaced. I'm not going to send it to the crusher. But, it is for sale since I bought a slightly used Chevy 2500 HD diesel pickup to replace it. The Chevy will pull a small trailer at almost the same mpg I was getting with the van by itself.

I don't have a clunker to trade...
I said trade...not that I didn't own one!
:-)
I have a std cab, 2wd, short wheelbase, V6 F-150 pickup.  With the factory wheels, tonneau cover and tubular
side steps it looks really good.  Oh and it's red.  It has over 100,000 miles on it and the book is quite a bit under
the $4500 CFC value.  I took it to a quick lube place yesterday.  You know where they try to sell you everything from 
a brake flush to nitrogen in your tires.  When I got out I told them don't try to sell me nothin'...It may be a cash for clunker.
I thought I was going to have to fight my way out of the place.  The used car guy next door even came over begging me
to sell it to him!
Figures, for the first time in my life I have a desirable trade and it's probably #3 down the list for replacement.  Going to have
to buy a vehicle for oldest daughter this year and of course then there's the Expedition I'm really wanting to get rid of.
Even when I told all these guys this they still would hardly let me drive off.
Oh well..

I've read that if you can't find a car now you could order one and get a voucher from the dealer so you could still get the Cash for Clunkers discount. Has anyone done this to know that we can get a voucher?

Well guys...
Looks like as usual I'm a day late and a dollar short.
Seems like the "cash for clunkers" program has soaked up most of the dealer's
inventory and along with it the deep discounts.
Looks like this will last sometime beyond Labor Day.
But I'm going to keep looking.

What I've done is convinced my wife she needs a minivan, then I just borrow it. That way there's no Stigma attached to me :)  Of course, I drive a 99 Ford Ranger short bed which is not much of a step up from a minivan.

Dodge / Chrysler with Stow-N-Go seating. Plenty of room, drives like a car, gets great mileage and it's comfortable on long trips. I hated minivans until I bought my '05 Grand Caravan. Don't worry, you'll get over the minivan stigma the first time you pack 4 airplanes in it. :)

I'm afraid it's time to bid our Expedition adieu.
Looking around I'm thinking about a minivan.
Yep, I'm really getting old.
If anyone has any recommendations I'd really appreciate hearing them.
Thanks!
