According to CNW research, some cash for clunkers customers have already begun expressing buyer’s remorse.

The company said that 17 percent of cash for clunkers participants in a recent survey indicated “some or serious doubts” about their recent car purchase.

Survey participants were nearly unanimous in their reason: They now have between a $275 and $350 new car payment to make each month, where prior, their household had no such payment.

“That amount, they say, could negatively impact the total family budget more than expected prior to buying the new vehicle,” explained Art Spinella, president of CNW Research.

“Typically, in a non-C4C environment, buyers’ remorse hits roughly 6 to 8 percent of new-vehicle buyers within a month, according to CNW Purchase Path research,” he added. ...

Perhaps the buyers' remorse will spread to Obama too.

I think it has in some cases, just look at the polls.  At least the C4C program might stimulate one part of the auto sector,  repo services.  :banghead:

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

 :thatsright:

That's exactly why I didn't jump on this.  I coulda easily gotten a car that was running 15 miles to the gallon more then what I had.  But that woulda meant taking on a whole new payment that I really didn't want to make.

Did people just suddenly forget that cars don't just cost $4500?
