Cash-for-Clunkers Payments Are Slow – What Did You Expect, It’s The Government?

Let’s face it, nobody wants to see any more financial damage reach car dealers, motor vehicles, because they have had enough of this financial crisis. Nearly a third of all car dealers by U.S. manufacturers have already been cut from their records. The case for the pottery program appeared to be a way to help revive the economy through economic recovery and also help the automobile industry devastated.

Having been in the automotive industry for nearly 27 years before retirement and who have rendered services to car dealers, remember that in the 23 states we do business, car dealers have been among the customers that pay the most slow. Now car dealers have complained that the cash payments from the pots is very slow, and that the government was slow to reimburse them. To me it seems almost ridiculous. Of course, the government pays the bills too slow and always have been.

In all my years of activity in the only guests who were slower than car dealers were our government contracts, and sometimes they pay is 120 days late and still not pay a 1% per month penalty according of our contracts. So now we have car dealers, who never pay their bills on time, and what I remember, we have always needed to access and pay the claim, (threatening to cancel the service) complains of government to pay to decrease.

While I feel for the car industry and car dealers, I can not remember how it was difficult for our service company to pick up after we had done during months of service. Please consider all this, because I’m not sure I want my tax money was brought Ex’ed auto dealers, simply because they complain. Let them wait, they made us wait.
