Cash for Auto Clunkers, Deal or Ripoff?

Pls tell us how you fared if you took advantage of this incentive program. I talked to a guy recently that told me he didn't feel a winner after this one. He ended up spending $5K more than originally budgeted for a plain, non-tricked out truck. Why: he claims that auto dealers jacked up prices, believing it would go unnnoticed b/c of the rebate.

Are you happy or unhappy with your decision to participate in this program? Thanks for your input.
