So you want a new Mercedes. Go to the slum in your town, buy a 1976 Ford Maverick for $400 that nobody’s using. Trade that in for the government’s $4,500 trade in.

You come out $4,100 richer.

Do they think we’re stupid?

california has a buy back plan, you have to have owned the car for 2 years, so I am sure the feds will come up with such a deal...

The question is more like, Do they know how stupid THEY are?

Look carefully. It's probably a voucher for "UP TO" $4500. The "rebate" for my brand new 2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid was quoted as $3,000 when I signed the contract. The actual rebate from the feds was $1202. That's a pretty big spread from what was promised.
