Will any car dealer be found not destroying cars in the cash for clunkers program?
No reports definitely showing that a car dealer did not destroy a car in the cash for clunkers program
Background:
The question is being ask because the dealerships are responsible for destroying the cars. I have found that not all car dealers are honest, so I feel some will not destroy the cars if they feel they can get away with it.
I could not find any information online what the penalties will be, so my guess is no one has determined what to do if the dealers don't destroy the cars. I am quite certain it will happen but I don't know if it will be reported so I will set the odds in favor of no one being caught.
