Well, if the purpose of trading in "clunkers" was somehow enforced it wouldn't be simply losing probably decent cars like that Volvo. The idea was cars that we see daily on roads spewing smoke and probably needing yearly fixes was to be traded in. Its a good plan with great intentions. However, the people who will take advantage of it have money to spend in car payments and thus wouldn't be driving pure 'clunkers' in the first place.
