Used Hondas and Toyotas did not depreciate 2010-2013 because the Cash-for-Clunkers débâcle reduced the supply of used cars, keeping up their price.
The suggestion that destroying operational vehicles would be a net gain for the economy is an excellent illustration of the broken window fallacy.
Cash-for-clunkers helped middle and upper-middle class people, including some friends of mine, who wanted to buy new cars. The cost of the program was born mostly by poor people, as is often the case.
I called Verizon and they said this is a phishing scam... Has anyone else independently verified the original claim with Verizon, other than through their website/privacy TOS?
