Dealers share their experiences and frustrations with the Cash for Clunkers rebate payment processing, which was experiencing significant delays with only about 1% of claims paid as of the discussion date. The thread reveals common submission rejections (improper title documentation, missing insurance proof, unsigned forms) and confirms that approved claims weren't being automatically notified via email, requiring dealers to manually check the portal. While some dealers had deals in "ready for payment" status after 5-10 days, actual bank deposits had not yet been received, indicating substantial processing delays throughout the system.
