Cash for Clunkers - or Why Car Salesmen are Morons
- Thread starter Paul
- Start date
I did my Cash For Clunkers deal over the weekend also. And i too decided against the VW TDI Sportwagon after the one i wanted was $27500 MSRP and nobody would budge. So i went with a similar equipped 09 Ford Escape.
The Escape was @$25,500 MSRP
Invoice was @$24,042
Final Negotiated price was $23,200 so i got $800 under invoice.
$2500 Rebate from Ford
$4500 Clunker Cash (traded 94 Aerostar worth $100)
Then i traded in my g/f's 05 Malibu which had a book value of $4400 in good condition (its not)
$5200 i got them to pay me for that.
So i left paying about $12,000 cash for my new Escape....
Not a bad deal and its really solid, much better than i expected.

Don't know. Didn't look. I don't want an Si - not much of a "boy racer." That's what my Mustangs are for.

You're out of your damn mind. No way I'm going to live in Phoenix in a non-AC car. Besides, wimmenz typically don't like being a sweaty disgusting mess when you take them out. I think all of you guys that take your A/C off are retards.

NICE. Great work with that. That's a kickass deal.

It's okay. Not spending time or money on my daily driver means I have more time and money for my notch.

the only time i like it, is when i first start the car when its hot out, and i need the AC to defog the windshield. thats the only time i ever use it.

that's what the fan speed and temperature settings are for. It doesn't need to be on max cold the whole time.... i hardly ever use my AC but when i do I'm so glad I have it. Some days having the windows open just doesn't cut it, especially in traffic.
Nice deal on the Escape DropTop, the new Escapes are actually pretty nice.

Saw this how-to on Lifehacker last week. Might come in handy if you want to do it yourself and save a few bucks:

I'll still be the tech moderator. I've definitely got more than one. :grin: Hell, even if I sold all my Mustangs, I'd probably still be the moderator here. I like this place and want to share my experiences with these cars with other folks.
I wish this program applied to more than just brand new cars. I've been looking at a couple year old ~30k mi Fusions that have ranged from $10k to $14k depending on options that I'd love to try and swing with something like this. If I could get what I want for my car, then trade in my dad's old POS Chevy 3500 on the program, I'd have a much more reliable newer car for damn near nothing. Then my money could go into my 67! But alas, its just new cars and there aren't any new cars for that kind of money now a days.
