so what are they doing with all the old cars? I hope they don't scrap them. 
---from what i have been told---
they take the car in... they dump 2 qts of a fine glass like blasting media into the engine and run it for 20 minutes
if the engine is not blown they add another qt of the glass media and run for another 20 (repeat until engine is destroyed)
when the engine is completely hosed the car is shipped off to a junk yard
the junk yard can pull any parts they want to sell off of the car (parts ONLY, the car MUST be destroyed)
then the rest of the car is crushed

They put something into the engines (can't remember what) and run them till they die, then scrap the car...

22,798 cars went through the program.
they should have limited it to strictly GM cars.
hey, don't hate me, it's your tax dollars paying the bailout. imagine where our tax investment would be with 23,000 GM cars sold at an average of $30,000. that is $690,000,00.

still better than them sitting on the lots.
and a lot of people are trading in stuff that they couldn't sell for how much the rebate is giving them. now they are more motivated buyers.

23,000 sold so far. i just saw the numbers on tv.
regardless, at least they are getting cars sold. i'm sure there is a $4500 profit margin to cover the cost of the rebates.
could this end up putting us more in debt? lol

lol, there is no $4500 profit margin. Salesmen would cream their pants if they could pull a $4500 profit out of a new car sale!! This was government funded.. They stepped in and covered the gap with our money.
As far as the 23,000... It says right in that linked article that its 40k with 200k more in paperwork.. I think you are reading old numbers... or the article is full of shit..

It's being reported that Congress is trying to funnel another 2 billion into the program.
