Well ... if I had endless money, I'd love to do that. But unfortunately, not only would it take $4,500 per car, it'd take more than that due to the fact that dealerships kick in an additional rebate ... although they are now doing that if you just trade in your car for resale, not CFC, too.
Personally, if I had a nice old car worth $1,500 that qualified for CFC, I'd rather sell it to some guy who could really use it for $1,500. Then I just get $1,500. Not reduced car payments. And if I really wanted a new car, I'd honestly still just sell the old one, then go buy a new one. Or trade it in for resale so someone else can use it. I'm not so desperate for a $3,000 cut that I'd trash something very useful to someone else to get it, and if I were that desperate, I wouldn't be buying a new car ...
