You mean like Cash for Clunkers? Wasn't that for V8 cars? No wonder taxes are so high there.An exporter offered $400, I sold it to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District for $1k to "save the air"
I had a few back then and they were better than much of the junk the big three were putting out.Hyundai was the butt of the joke in the 90s and for good reason, but the 3 Hyundai Excels I owned never let me down and is one of the reason I love the brand today.
That’s a nice clean Excel. Same color as my old 89 except that was a sedan. I think it was called sapphire blue. I wouldn’t mind finding one to use as a winter car, but they’re probably all gone by now.I had a few back then and they were better than much of the junk the big three were putting out.

Every VW I've ever hadAnyone had a car that the world says was junk, but turned out really good for you?
Xterra shouldn't be on that list! I had a 2010...the thing was a tank. I wish I still had it as well.Two cars I wish I had back, that weren't supposed to be all that great.
Nissan Xterra that I modded for off road - had the locking rear diff...that thing was unstoppable, and even the family loved it
The second was a 1st gen Honda CRV...I hated it, but it was an amazing first car for my second daughter. With AWD, it went through everything, was perfectly reliable, and held her and her friends and junk. Great car until she rear-ended someone ;-)
No not cash for clunkers. BAAQMD Will give you $7500 now toward an EV or certain hybrids if you are in certain zip codes and meet the income requirements to get an old polluter off the road. Money well spent to improve air pollution.You mean like Cash for Clunkers? Wasn't that for V8 cars? No wonder taxes are so high there.
That's a local one, not the federal one, and it was for every car as long as it was 1995 and prior. You were not paying for it, the carbon credit were sold to local polluters (refinery, power plant, etc).You mean like Cash for Clunkers? Wasn't that for V8 cars? No wonder taxes are so high there.
And the local refinery, power plant, etc. passes on the cost of doing business, such as buying carbon credits, to their customers...........us.That's a local one, not the federal one, and it was for every car as long as it was 1995 and prior.
