You had to go to a dealer to do the "Cash for Clunker" right?
And you get a max $4500.00 rebate from the gov if the dealer destroy the "Clunker", the car is in effect sold to the government for a max $4500.00
Well any dealer would know if a car was worth way more then $4500.00 and no way would apply for a $4500.00 government rebate on that car they could turn for more ...
The dealer would just give you a $4500.00 "rebate" out of their own pocket for title that "Clunker", and then resell
Well according to Jalopnik and Detroit Press they linked to that is what happened disgusting I know but that is what they reported.
