That's fucking insane!

This is exactly what I knew would happen with this stupid scheme. People with the best old cars chopping them in for a new shitter simply because they get a nice easy trade in value

That would probably fetch a grand privately, but a dealer would usually give scrap money for a trade in. In the eyes of the average buyer the scheme is great, but it is so wasteful..... both in terms of pointlessly churning out new cars which is bad enviromenrtally, and beacause virtual museum pieces like that will be cubed!
