You really were not suppose to trade them in if they were NOT junk. Don't really know what the reprocussions are or will be but it was suppose to be a shot in the arm for the factories, dealerships, salespeople etc. Also I believe their aim was to get some of the more polluting cars off the streets. This may not have worked for all but I think some of the dealerships around me did fairly good by it. I still kept my clonkers though.
