Matt Stanford's Cash for Clunkers Sale

[91trunk]

The rules haven't been set in stone, but I've gotten a few PM's about this program. If you are interested in getting a new Ford-Mecury-Lincoln product using this program shoot me a PM. In the PM let me know the Year, Make and Model of your "clunker" and what vehicle you are interested in.

Thanks!

*A few things to keep in mind*

1. If you have a clunker KEEP the insurance and plate current! According to everything we have, it MUST be insured and plated for one year.

2. If it's on it's last leg, park it until the program starts. They say the car MUST be running. They didn't say it had to run well or forever, so if she is gonna give up the ghost try and prolong it.

3. Find your current reg, insurance and title. This is the government, so they will be looking for any out they can find. :lol:

4. Ford is the car company of the future and I'm a great guy to deal with :D

Glad to hear you're working with the program! Just don't scrap anything cool or we'll have to send the MM militia :blaster:

Trust me if there is a way to keep the "cool" shit, I will. There might be some interior, fender 1/4 less cars rolling into the scrap yard :lol:

I'm going to watch for updates. I'd trade in our Expedition for a Fusion.

Any prediction if I'd have problems trading in a convertible Expedition?

OK folks that are interested. We are starting to put cars on hold for this program. Since this program only has a certain amount of money, getting our ducks in a row before the program starts will be best.

According to everything we are hearing, when the money is gone, it's gone. There are no do overs or rain checks. If you want ensure you're going to get in on the program take the steps below.

How to get your ducks in a row:

1. Pick out a car. I can hold the car until the end of the month when the program kicks off. You can PM me a list of the needs and wants. I will find you the vehicle you want.

2. Get your credit approved prior to the program starting. This is one less step in the way. Being pre-approved doesn't not bind you to purchasing, it just makes things smoother.

3. Get your title, proof of insurance and registration. Make copies so you have proof.

4. If you are going to purchase it on an employee discount plan, get your PIN.

5. Talk to your insurance company. If you need a VIN to check rates, shoot me a PM

6. Get any extra cash you might use towards the purchase in order.

hey matt any idea when this program will be kicking off? i talked to you through PM, and i have to wait till august, but i already have my ducks in a row including the financing. let me know, i hope it doesn't all get spent before i can get a car.

[MystryGuy]

how do you find the epa rating for a chrysler new yorker 3.0 v6? lol i looked just cant find anything concrete. It gets waay worse mileage then a '10 mustang gt with stick/trak pack, riiiight? lol

[knievel]

My understanding is that Stangs are not eligible because they get less than 22 mpg (epa rating)??

Yes

According to all the reports there will be enough money for about 250,000 deals. 250,000(deals)/50(states)=5000 per state. We do an average of 300 a month. If a 1/4 of those sales are from C.F.C, that's only 66 dealers to take up the 5000.

Granted the 5000 isn't a set number for each state. I'm just using for easy numbers. So what I'm saying is this program really is going to be a first come first serve type thing.

[Syclone#1992]

Question, my car will be registered and insured for a full year in Octoberish. I have just renewed the plates again, do I qualify or do I have to wait until October or whenever I bought the car?

From eveything I've seen you have to have insured and registered for a year.

[kovacs32]

Yep

[Golden]

Wow someone should pick up a 5 speed focus. Great deal!

[moneypit]

also dont forget 2009 is the last year you can deduct new vehicle sales tax off your federal return

[Syclone#1992]

Anymore news on this? I went into a local dealer, and no one seems to know too much about this program. I looked at my title and I will have owned the car for a year on Oct. 6, hopefully there will still be funding left by then.

Cross your fingers. We have 150 cars on hold. I would say 85% will go. Funding will be gone VERY quickly.

[CRASH]

PM sent.

Glad to hear you're working with the program! Just don't scrap anything cool or we'll have to send the MM militia :blaster:

I work at a Chrysler dealer and they are sending us basically liquid glass, we have to drain the oil and refill with this stuff and run the engine until it locks up. They want to take no chance that people are going to resell these cars they want them off the road.

And BTW people jump on this the showroom and parking lot was crawling with people and shitty cars this fire is going to burn fast and hot so don't dick around like Matt says won't last long.

[n8dogg2669]

hey matt, i know you said this won't last long, but are you talking like it'll last a couple weeks, couple days, months, what?? just tryign to get a sense of if the deal will still be around august 12th. I thought it was the 9th but i looked at the title and it says the 12th. what do u think the chances are of getting in on this mid august??

[91trunk]

I hope it lasts that long. I'll keep you updated on the progress

[CRASH]

Get my PM?

[wikdsvt]

when you say plated and insured, I have a '86 mustang vert.
I put storage insurance on it in the winter, does that count?

Hell I am putting a crap load of miles on my jeep... I need a cheap car that gets good gas mileage.

[CRASH]

Nevermind, I got the info I requested through a different dealer and ordered my vehicle!

[THOR84GT]

it's suspended for now was in the paper this morning don't know how that might affect someone that ordered a car though matt should chime in and put some more info up about this

Well, I guess scratch that. Got word today that they won't approve me because of my 'precarious and unknown employment position', even though I was putting a quarter down?

Gay...

Doubt it's just your unknown employment. I'm sure your past credit history has alot to do with it.

As for not getting back to you, I'm just responding to PM's from Monday. Just to toot my own horn, I sold and delivered 12 cars in 5 days. I just didn't have the time to do much on Motown the last week and I'm sorry.

[kovacs32]

toot toot! wheres my comission?

Ah, okay. :thumbsup: No worries. I have a credit score of 670, and I thought that by me putting $10k down, I'd be a shoe in! Apparently not, and they didn't really say anything about my credit. The employment thing was all they told me when I came back in to complete the transaction.

[1nine84GT]

Hell I would be all over this deal but I cant pull my 31 foot camper with a focus or fusion ( I would like to try tho ) So I Will stay with my 6.8L V-10 Excursion & It's 8-11 M.P.G.
