They can only give you scrap value for your "clunker" since the stipulation for getting the rebate is that the car will not be resold for use as an automobile anywhere in the world, basically it has to be destroyed. The dealer has to assure the government that it will be handed over to an agency that will destroy it, they are allowed to sell some parts but can not sell any parts of the drivetrain-- the rest of the car gets scrapped.
