Not sure of the purpose of "cash for clunkers". I have an old 1979 Toyota that I wanted to get rid of in the cash for clunkers program several years ago. They wouldn't take it because it was too old. What they really wanted was the newer used cars so they could make them so scarce people would have to either buy an actual clunker, or cough up the money for a new car. Right after, all the used car lots in my area were almost empty. Virtually no choice in gently used cars. If they do it again, we need to ask up front, how old is too old. That may expose some interesting information.
