   I am a New Car Salesman (yes on of those guys) here in San Diego, Ca. We had a good month at the dealership in July and August. Took in close to 100 C4C trades so far. ONLY problem is our dealership has YET tot be paid for any of them. We have had to hire three temps JUST to do the paper work. We have about 70 transactions in “review”, three have been declined AFTER we got the Auth from their computer.

   As a sales rep I will not get paid on the 13 sales I have made till the Government pays the Dealership and the deals have cleared. I am being assured that this SHOULD be by the end of 2009.

   I am hoping my utility companies and mortgage company understand that I will be able to pay my bills once the Government pays the Dealership so they can pay me. I am sure the Utility Companies will be compassionate and allow me to run my bills up till no later than the end of 2009.

   This program has been a DISASTER for us. The public doesn’t understand what qualifies as a clunker, they DON’T want to have to buy the cars that qualify for the program and the banks are declining loan applications on these deals as fast as we submit them.

   We don’t dare destroy the cars right now, because if the Government will not fund us we have no way to wholesale or auction the vehicles to try and recoup the dealerships investment.

   ALL the sales reps are upset that they are not getting paid in a timely manner and the customers are really going to be pissed when they have to return the cars because their loan got declined or the Government FAILS to pay the dealerships.

   Give this 60 days and the Dealers LAW SUITS will begin!

   Oh Joy! Just wait for Obama Care! Yes, CHANGE WE CAN (NOT) BELIEVE IN!
   To all you idiots that voted for this Administration I hope your satisfied with the RAPID demises of the GOOD OLD USA!
