Why would the government allow them to continue selling when they didn't have cars available to sell? When the funds ran out, they stopped the program. What about when cars weren't available? My husband thought he had a deal so he never went elsewhere. Meanwhile, other dealers probably had cars. It all seems unfair to the consumer and poorly controlled by the government.
 
Dealers are independently owned. C for C ended before 9/4.
Your complaint will not get passed on to the Regional Sales Director it will get binned.

I think cash for clunkers was a good deal, but they really needed to be very clear on all the rules of the program
 
They were very clear on the rules pertaining to registration.
There was a lapse in registration.. hence no pay.

I know the "continuous registration" requirement was set as one year. I think they were aiming at continuous ownership. The government did not want us to buy a car to use as a clunker trade-in. I have not seen the original legislation but I suspect that DOT installed the one year registration requirement.

Did you get you car back and unwind your deal? I ask because I had the same problem. However KarMart in Burlington WA waited to 2 months before they contacted me and now they sent me to collections and want $3500. I asked give me my car back and unwind the deal but they will not! I think they resold my car and made a profit.
