Perhaps my memory goes back further than yours, but I don't recall most cars (Honda & Toyota excepted) of the "clunker" era as being particularly reliable.
If the "clunker" in question was reliable and efficient, like for instance my '88 Toyota pickup, why would people trade it in? My local Craigslist is showing similar ones at around $4-5K, which is as much or more than you'd have gotten from the Cash for Clunkers program.
