"NEW YORK (AP) - Hundreds of auto dealers in the New York area have withdrawn from the government's Cash for Clunkers program, citing delays in getting reimbursed by the government, a dealership group said Wednesday.

The Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association, which represents dealerships in the New York metro area, said about half its 425 members have left the program because they cannot afford to offer more rebates. They're also worried about getting repaid......"

"(The government) needs to move the system forward and they need to start paying these dealers," said Mark Schienberg, the group's president. "This is a cash-dependent business." ....."

"..... Schienberg said the group's dealers have been repaid for only about 2 percent of the clunkers deals they've made so far. ......"

Same thing happening here on the west coast. The dealers were promised reimbursement within 10 days and now it's over 22 days and they are hurting. If they can't even run Cash for Clunkers how would you like them running your health services!!!
I just hope this is not on purpose to dry up the dealerships!!!

Thanks TigerAngel!!! You said "I just hope this is not on purpose to dry up the dealerships!!!"

Hey bankrupt as many businesses as possible then take them over (socialize) seems to be the plan. Bet they drag their feet for months or years paying dealers.
