that list can't be correct.. NO ONE will take something like the Bentley which is low retail valued by Nada.com at 113,000 dollars and trade it in for 4,000 dollars.. same goes with the Foose F150.. just not going to happen..

A lot of it has to do with dealerships around the country sending in cars that have been on their lots for quite some time. I've been looking for a new beater and the dealer near my house sent most of the used cars - at least the ones they thought they couldn't sell - to C4C... All that was left was a lot of somewhat eco friendly cars and new-but-used hybrids...

Not to mention that the C4C vehicles were supposed to be rated at 18 or fewer mpg . A 2006 toyota corolla wouldn't qualify.
