Cash for Clunkers? Forget it

Hello again. I have thought up today that as I was watching on Youtube scrap cars needing to be saved, there was a video compiling a mixture of 80s and 90s cars abandoned in a paddock in South Carolina, America, second one is a car salesman offering dirt cheap cars saved from junkyards but the most important video to make this page is the issue of the Cash for Clunkers scheme initiated by the Obama government. Old clunkers get destroyed rather than sold for spare parts.

The whole idea for the Cash for Clunkers scheme is to get rid of old 'gas guzzlers' and clunkers off the roads in America in an attempt to increase the average miles per gallon for new cars but there are a few problems. There wouldn't be many more choices for any buyer after an older cheap car once more of them end up destroyed and recycled. There would be less spare parts available and older cars would become more rare and hard to find and for anyone looking for a car to refurbish, the Cash for Clunkers scheme would make things hard.

Meanwhile in Australia, there was consideration for our own Cash for Clunkers aimed to taking off cars older than 10 years by former prime minister Julia Gillard. But that didn't pass so luckily, we wouldn't be much problems caused by the scheme. Cars are expensive forms of personal transportation and getting rid of older cars considering they're cheaper would be worse off for buyers with little money. I used to own a 1992 Nissan Pintara hatchback as my first car. Yes, it had a few problems and even some near catastrophic problems but once fixed up, it didn't give out problems ever since.

But if the scheme is passed, any 80s cars would be destined for extinction.

So about the third Youtube video, I want to show you this.

Without the Cash for Clunkers, our economy can still benefit from auto parts stores, car wreckers, paint stores and mechanics. After all, we spend money to keep things going. Why take a chance?

Thanks again!
