This seems like strange timing to try a program like this. Almost sounds like a "We'll gladly take your 2015 car that's almost paid off now and get you into an even bigger loan on something that purportedly is more fuel efficient (but really isn't) for almost twice the price of the car you gave us that had nothing wrong with it!" deal.

The cash for clunkers BS up here in Canada had a LOT of people turning in good cars. All their advertisements said "even if you have to drag it in, we'll give you 2k for it". I know a lot of folks who dragged things in with blown engines, dead trannys, gaping rust holes and were told to go home. It was such a farce. They just wanted to get the older stuff off the road. I tried taking in my rusty/scabby (but still ran great) Lebaron coupe and was told to go away. I tried two different dealerships and they both said "No way".
