Gee, I pick up my (well, my wife's) new AWD SUV on Monday under the CARS program.
I junked a 1993 GMC Sierra 4WD (16 combined MPG) w/160K+ miles for a $4,500 discount. I got an additional discount as well.
I would have sold the truck this fall anyway, so I was indeed "stimulated" to remove it from the road.
Since it was a "truck" to "truck" transaction, I only needed 5 miles in MPG improvement to qualify.
My wife's Highlander has 150K+ on it, so I'll sell it outright later.
Free money is, well, free money.
