Obama says he cannot guarantee Social Security checks will go out on August 3

in general the effects were temporary in both directions for new cars - the C4C program pulled all of the buyers into the time period it was available, and sales crashed afterwards. the price of older cars spiked during the same time period for the same reason that there was a $4,500 floor pushing prices for them up. at this point, however, the only increase in used vehicles will be because of decreased supply from the destruction and increased demand due to a continued slump of an economy (times are tough, people buy fewer new cars) thanks to an administration that thinks the solution to our ills is things like Cash For Clunkers.

Then it seems quite irrelevent.

BTW, bought a 2001 Volvo yesterday for $3900.
 
If you can claim to be "we", I don't see why I can't.

Sure you can. We means you and I. If you disagree with me when I disagree with you means that you agree with me. Thwpppt!

JELLUS!!

My best friend only ever buys volvo. Of course, she's only had to buy two, because they are energizer bunny vehicles.

I was pretty pleased with the buy. The car fax was all good, my mechanic said the car was solid, the book vlaue was 6-7k. I think I got a fair deal. ;)
 
Carfax is very inaccurate and incomplete. I would only take them with a grain of salt.

CARFAX: Not Always All the Facts

I understand, but it is part of the complete picture. It only has what has been reported. That's why I also went to my mechanic and had him go over it pretty well. This too won't assure perfection, but it's better than nothing.

How can a historically inaccurate and incomplete report be part of the "big picture?" That doesn't make any sense.

I think I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.

Nothing is perfect. Mechanics can make mistakes also. I'm not sure whether you have a bone to pick with Carfax or Boo but it's what he claims. One tool to use to try and get the bigger picture.

I don't think I'm being controvesial here. I merely looked at everything I could look at and I think that gives me a picture.
