CARPE DIEM: More on Cash for Clunkers and Clunky Paperwork

CARPE DIEM: More on Cash for Clunkers and Clunky Paperwork: "Scott Lambert, vice president of the Minnesota Auto Dealers Association, said he was 'astounded' to learn at a meeting Tuesday representing about 150 Minnesota dealers that not one has had a deal approved. 'We had dealers representing 1,500 to 2,000 transactions,' he said. 'We asked how many had a deal approved yet, and not one hand went up.'

Lambert said the government has created a program that's 'so big and cumbersome that it can't find a way to accept anything."

Read this article: The Real Reason for the "Cash for Clunkers" Suspension. The ex car salesman blog shares exactly why they stopped the program. Even reports that some sales managers are calling asking for the money back because they were denied the rebate when the final paperwork was submitted but their car was already ruined by dumping a solution in the engine. They now have no car. Scary. See: http://tinyurl.com/ml9sdo
