Kinda fucked up the way that the dealers have to trash the car, make it unusable. When all the people who can't afford a new car, even with the $4500 credit go to buy their next car, there'll be less used cars to choose from (though i doubt anyone will have trouble finding one still)

does it have to be American, or just a car with better MPG? I don't think it has to be American.

that Volvo had to be worth more than the $4500 rebate you get when you trade it in doesn't it?

if you want to ruin a car, donate it to a foundation that helps families with used cars. you get a tax break.

Businesses get tax breaks all the time. These new cars are on average 61 pct more efficient. On average the amount of taxes and federal fees paid are between 3 and 4 grand per vehicle. Close to the amount that the rebate is. Just sayin'
