I guess I kinda see what you are saying but at the same time, I would think that someone who buys a 08 Foose F150 would have some idea that its worth somewhere upwards of $35,000.

I see a ton of nice looking older F-150s on the dealer lots here marked C4C on the windshield, waiting on the crusher. Tonight at the local Toyota place, there are 3 bronco IIs, a nice 95-ish Bronco, a couple of Eddie Bauer Explorers and a Maserati.

Did anyone ever stop and think,maybe some of these vehicles were turned in by people who wanted to be more "green" regardless of what it cost them?
Some people are like sheep, and believe all this "go green" crap that's being spewed at use at a regular basis.

That's definitely not it....one of the stipulations was that you had to own the car outright. I can't believe some of the cars on that list tho. Unless they were trashed to begin with, they'd be worth MUCH more than the $4500 max

I'd like to see some names with some of those vehicles so I can track them down and beat them.

The government has their names.

Have to make sure the people claim the $3,500 - $4,500 as income on their tax returns like they are supposed to.
