Wow, that stinks. I wonder if the same happens when the airbags in an old MB deploy.
 
I remember sometime in the 90s MB sought out the earliest airbag model they could find still registered, it was an early 1980 production date W126 - they bought the owner a new car and crash tested the old car to see what would happen. It functioned as designed.

Can this thread please go back on topic???? I'd like to see what kind of deals, or who is planning to use this program.

You might have to wait a little for the thread to go back on topic - technically teh program doesn't start for another week.
 
I do hear dealers now advertising the program - so far Ford and Hyundai around here.

Yeah, I believe Hyundai is calling it a "Government rebate" at the moment since the program doesn't officially exist yet.

Well, the rules aren't in place but the effective date of the program was July 1.
 
"While the CARS Act makes transactions on and after July 1 potentially eligible for credits under the CARS program, interested dealers and consumers may want to wait until all of the detailed issues that must be addressed in the implementing regulations are resolved and the final rule is issued. Issuance will occur around July 24." cars.gov

Got a guy here at work with a 2003 Tahoe that is looking forward to the CfC campaign. Apparently, last years gas hikes and multiple repairs have scared him into a Hyundai Sante Fe. I can't believe he's getting 13mpg with it, what a pig! Amazingly, the dealer caught on to, and lowballed his trade to 3500 dollars trade so a few more weeks....
 
I didn't even realize Hyundai was offering the program before yesterday!

His 2003 Tahoe would not be accepted in the C4C program anyway. It must have been totally trashed to only bring $3500 in trade. Smart dealer will probably make a couple grand on the trade in.

Just put a down payment on one yesterday
heres the breakdown:
  
18,736 car
670 destination
1625 NYS Sales Tax
230 Registration fees
199 Dealer fees
  
total= 21,463 - 4,500 CFC = $16,963
  
***The C4C program has been delayed till Monday the 27th, so I can't pick up the car till Monday
  
Oh the dealer is giving me the credit AFTER sales tax is applied....Does anyone else have a dealer that is applying the rebate to the MSRP?
