Trade your clunker for $4500 towards the purchase of a new car

so apparently there is a stimulus plan that goes like this: if you drive a clunker, you can trade it in at dealerships (that are in the cash for clunkers program) and the government will give you $3500- $4500 towards the purchase of a new car. my knee jerk reaction would be: what's the catch? there are specific rules that need to be followed, i.e. your car has to be a gas guzzler, the car you must purchase must not be another gas guzzler, the purchase needs to be done before January 2010, you cannot apply the $4500 towards the purchase of a ferrari etc etc fine print fine print blah blah blah. but if you qualify and have the money, it's worth giving it a shot! as my friend anum put it, if you buy a $10k car, you are really getting it for $5,500. not a bad deal eh? but you need to move superfast as the $$$ are limited and the program will stop once the cash runs out. read all about it at: http://www.cashforclunkersfacts.com/

goodluck and let me know if you were able to buy one thru this program! xo

Day 163



3/12/09 grudgingly buying a new tv =P the idiot that i am did not buy a warranty for the tv we got two years ago. after endless back and forth fighting with HP, they would not replace my tv (it's out of warranty ma'am) or repair it for free (you can pay us $650 to come out three times to attempt to fix your tv). i finally got so fed up i just broke down and bought a new one. utang nasad samok!

lesson learned: never ever buy a plasma tv from HP. but it's not even significant at this point because they already stopped manufacturing tvs anyway...sumooo!
