Older Saab 900s are tight. They could prolly sell that thing for 4500 in that condition.

can i buy a $500 hooptie and "trade" it in, or is there a length of ownership involved?

Probably...but it will the last time the car or it's engine sees the road.

Engines are to be permanently disabled on all turn ins

The way this program works they get whatever the trade in value is (in your opinion ~4500, I think you are way high) plus an additional 3500-4500 from the government.

I believe the vehicle also has to be paid off.

Humm...my 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport with 143k miles may be a candidate for this.

I wasn't planning to do anything before then either and didn't realize it ended in November...it pays to read I guess.

My Jeep has been running fine and the 4x4 works great and it has cold A/C but yesterday I heard a clunk and the CEL came on...uh oh...so my plan may be altered.
