But therein lies the problem. What if you had a '93 cavalier and all you needed was a control arm or something? You could normally go down to the junk yard and grab one for $20. With the CARS program, all cars turned in are DESTROYED- not parted out. Many cars in the $5-7000 retail range have trade in values of less than the $4500 being offered by the govt. This eliminates a huge market for people that want to buy a cheap beater. Ever wanted a 'winter car'? You used to be able to find those for $500 but with this law, why would somebody bother selling it for that? If this continues for the long term, this program will actually force people to go further into debt as they won't be able to find any decently priced used cars.
