    $500 for one dress!!! My whole wardrobe isn't worth $500... and I can't afford shoes, so I cut off my legs!

    We sit together, my VX and I, until only the VX remains.

    There is also a MPG difference requirement based on the type of vehicle being turned in versus the type being bought. My co-worker traded in his old Honda Pilot for a brand new Acura TL last week under this program ($3500 rebate) and just got a letter that stated that the TL did not qualify because the MPG difference was only five, and it had to be 6 or more. "Return the car or pay $3500 more." He's going to return the car, and then see if it shows up on their used car list!

    Ahhh bureaucracy at work. I wonder how much it's costing to have an army of auditors sit around somewhere and generate/mail letters for 1 MPG overages.

    This is change we can believe in my a**.

    "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"

    One of the local Stealerships is advertising that they will give you the rebate ... even if you don't trade in a clunker.

    Cash for Clunkers... suspended.

    I suppose they were expecting more "Clunker" VX's to be turned in and instead, the demand for them grew.
