Well. the destruction of the "old" car wasn't originally part of the deal. Some dealer in germany was caught trying to sell the old cars off the lot. As a result ALL dealers taking advantage of the deal now HAVE to "disable" the vehicles.
The US isn't the only country doing a program similar to this. Although I agree that this will "either" be slightly beneficial, or a disaster (leaning towards that latter), because the US economy has a vastly different from other smaller countries doing the same program.
Well, I thought that I might as well take advantage of this opportunity, since its here. If I didn't, than someone else would have, so it makes no difference as far as the tax I would be paying later.
I traded in my 93 Jeep cherokee sport (worth $500 ) for a hyundai . So no rare cars sacrificed because of me. The amount to repair the jeep would of been 6x what its worth .
