The junkyard here has a bunch of the clunkers in their yard now. They have big red stickers that say the engine block cannot be sold, but the rest of the car is up for grabs.

They also had a bunch of nice looking cars that looked like they were about to be crunched, that had 'CARS' written on the windows. There was a nice looking Lexus, and a bunch of other atypical trade-ins. I'm not sure if they were actually part of the program or not.

A friend of ours traded an Isuzu Rodeo for a new Nissan Sentra, and my landlords traded an old Explorer for a Nissan Cube. Apparently, the Isuzu had transmission problems, and the Explorer made too many creaking noises to be considered safe, so it worked out great for them.
