You know, if you look for new directions to promote and improve your blog, i’ve open myself a corner of internet and i would wish to share it with you and your visitors, because it’s a healthy fortune for anyone to see how they can boost their sites and any online business if they have any. It’s free or very low cost products but good ones.Thank You and Bye!
Hello there, I’m using Kubuntu Linux 9.4 and the Iceweasel 1.9 web browser, and your page looks rather screwed up. Might want to look into it. Cya!
I admit, I have not been on this site in a long time… all the same it was another joy to see It is such necessary topic and avoided by so many, even expert. I thank you to help making people more informed of possible issues.
It goes like this, a client seeks for a keyword on Google. You make published an article which targets this word and have subjected it to a internet site which Google likes. The customer finds your article on page one, reads it, clicks on your website link, and calls your website. All going well, you will have about affiliate link click-throughs, and some sales in there! That’s the beauty of affiliate marketing.
As of today I am still fighting my Honda dealer in small claims court. One month (!) after I purchased my car the dealer informed me that he didn’t get approved as a CARS dealer so no rebate. The dealer ran a Cash for Clunkers/CARS ad in the paper next day I go in with my 2000 Cherokee find a car to buy, on the contract he hand writes “rebate forwarded to consumer when received by dealer, based on availability of funds”. Remember at end of August dealers were worried about the money running out. I live in the Virgin Islands, so things do work a little differently here. He made no mention of still working on his status as an approved dealer. I was not asked to fill out the buyer survey, dealer did not fill out purchase agreement to have me sign. And to date he has not disabled my trade in. In fact he’s now offering to “help” me sell the Cherokee I turned in, so I can get “some money” for it. I am fighting based false advertising; their the ad used the Federal logo and described the rebate, a newspaper article stated that “local car dealers now approved for CARS program. He did not make any statement about not being approved until one month after my purchase…. two days after my loan went through… so that the bank owned the car and I couldn’t simply return the vehicle and walk away from the whole mess!
I thought that making money online was impossible too but then i found this site that allows me to sell small articles that i write for anywhere from $20 to $100 each. I have sold 3 articles already so I finally have a way to make money from home.
My first experience with One Stop Motors was excellent. I sold my car yesterday and was so pleased with the service provided , I signed up to sell another car with Joel Hendricks your Sales Representative..
All your people were very professional and most helpful.
I also will refer any friends or family to One Stop Motors.

While reading all the sites that i found, the Dealership has the responsibility after taking the car in. Contract list as trade, when the Gov rejects it. Is it not there fault? They ae the experts, they review all documents and make the decision. I have the vehicle and hope not to have the bad experiences some of you have had. Although I am expecting it, I have already gotten the call to come in and renegotiate the deal. I too have made the complaints to Florida BBB, no help; NADA No help; CARS.gov hotline “thats between you and the dealer”. Florida AG took all my info, still awaiting there reply; etc.. Trend that no entity wants to clarify or help it seems. Anyone with advice or has resolved thier issue pls leave a note. Ohh PLEASE a reference….
Paul Larkin –
We had the EXACT same problem. We were told by the dealer that they were 99.9% sure our deal would go through. Until CARS finally said that the 99 Suburbans were Category 3. Like I said in a different post, if this information was available from the beginning, we wouldn’t have used the CARS program.
Paul Larkin,
The bads news for you is that the program ended yesterday :O(
the possibly useful news in case the program is later extended, from cars.gov:
From the Consumer FAQ
I have an SUV with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) under 8500 lbs. and a curb weight over 6000 lbs. I thought this vehicle was a category 1, but the website does not have a fuel economy rating for it. Can I still participate in the CARS program?
YES. SUVs with a GVWR under 8500 lbs. and a curb weight over 6000 lbs. are not rated for fuel economy by EPA. Therefore, these vehicles are treated as category 3 trucks and must have a model year of 2001 or older (but manufactured no earlier than 25 years prior to the date the vehicle is traded in). The special rules relevant to the trade-in of category 3 trucks apply.
Note: When using the comparison tool on our website, your trade-in vehicle will not appear

From the Dealer FAQ
My consumer has an SUV with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) under 8500 lbs. and a curb weight over 6000 lbs. Is there a special manner in which I must enter a CARS Program credit application for this type of trade-in vehicle?
YES. When you enter the attachments on the qualifying CARS Program credit application you will need to do two additional things:
1. Include a cover page that states ?Unrated by EPA because trade-in has a GVWR under 8500/Curb Weight over 6000.?
2. At step 8 of the iSupplier screen, under ?Invoice Description,? write the following: ?Note: Unrated by EPA because trade-in has a GVWR under 8500/Curb Weight over 6000.?
I have a 1999 Suburban 1500 4wd and it was not on the list, but the 2wd was. What a bunch of crap, i called my Congressman and he couldn”t even help. BS to the program!!
My name is Paul M Larkin and I live in Ohio. I am in need of your support and assistance. I currently have a 1999 GMC 4-wheel drive Suburban with 318,000 miles. I am in desperate need to take advantage of the Clunker Program.
Last week I went into a Honda dealership in hopes of taking advantage of the trade in program. I have been advised by three different car dealerships that the vehicle I own qualifies for the $4500.00 dollar trade in program, however, is not on the list.
I selected the vehicle that I wanted and went thru the proper credit check etc. and was approved for the purchase. However, when the dealer put my vehicle name, year and model into the government approved program, it does not recognize a GMC or Chevrolet 4- wheel drive Suburban. (It does recognize a 2-wheel drive). A vehicle that clearly meets the requirements by the federal government.
The dealer has advised me that the program has left out several vehicles off their list of approved automobiles for the Clunker program. They have submitted to the program administrators the problem at hand and have had no luck in a return emails or phone calls from them.
I need your assistance to put pressure on the program administrators to review and add my vehicle to the list. It clearly meets the requirements and is an oversight by the administrators. As you can imagine, I am very concerned that I will miss out on the Clunker program due to an oversight by the agency. Please assist me in my efforts to take part in this great program offered by our government. I can be contacted directly and look forward to hearing from you or one of your staff members. Thank you again in advance.
Such a great program. I think they should do this for houses as well. Maybe give 100k towards a new house, but the old one has to be destroyed.
