It's a problem compounded by the fact that a car, to a degree, is a discretionary purchase.

Wife and I are both due next May and I've placed a (cancellable) order to let the dealer know what I want.

But with the economy "in flux" I'm perfectly happy with what she and I have at present.

It becomes somewhat of a Catch-22. Just think what would happen is they passed the deal they were talking about yesterday. Every citizen gets a $5,000 rebate from the Feds and a $5,000 from the manufactuers for buying an American car.

That'd keep me in a Ford for the next couple years.

Court,
That is exactly where the government should put that money.
Great idea!

The only problem I see with the govt. rebate is that it would destroy the used car market and your trade-in value.

I guess we're stuck with what they decide, more welfare for the wealthy.
No choice!

P.S. I wasn't being sarcastic when I said it was a great idea, I thought it was.
It took me over an hour thinking about it until I saw a problem.

$10K off ($5K from Feds & $5K rebate) a new car doesn't help if you don't have a job.

That's true . . . but perhaps all the folks who have been taking out "no income or employment verification" mortgages will buy them . . .

No, it is not.

For pyramid schemes see Mary Kay or mypinktruth.
