What Cash For Clunkers destroyed the most in 2009

46,676 1995-2003 Ford Explorer s and Mercury Mountaineers
23,998  1996-2000 Mopar minivans
20,844 1993-1998  Grand Cherokees
20,222  1992-1997  F-150s
18,329  1984-2001 Cherokees
17,202 1988-2002 GM C/K pickup 
15,668 1995-2005 Chevrolet Blazer 
12,157 1999-2003 Windstar
11,612 1991-1994 Explorers
8,103 1994-2001 Ram 1500

there were 700,000 vehicles destroyed and they averaged 16 mpg, and the Cash for Clunkers program cost the US taxpayers 3 billion dollars. It had no net positive effect

  1. I remember the local Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge dealer took in a mint 1978 Chrysler New Yorker under that program. The thought that it was going to be crushed was heart breaking!

  2. Made good used vehicles hard to find and the later affect is that poor folk are walking or taking the bus , all part of the grand plan .
