Here the official list:

So did the dealership!
The dealership should have been like we'll give you 3,500 for the GNX and kept it for themselves!

Easy ...
Drove it to the lot and said ... "I'm a idiot that wants to trade this in, does this qualify?"
And the dealer that wants to make money selling cars replied "Yep, now lets get you into a brand new scion"

Why would someone junk a 97 Aston Martin DB7 Volante? Not my favorite AM, but still worth more than the CFC rebate.

In their defense, they could have been totally wrecked or something not worth being salvaged. I'm against cash for clunkers program but i'm sure they probably weren't anything worth saving

Because they own them and can do what they want with them.
Not saying people make the smartest decisions, unfortunetly

All cars had to be running and drivable when turned in.
Any GNX or TTA in that condition is worth more than $4500.

i'm thinking cars that may be rotted, have a bent frame, or terrible body damage. Its possible/probable they could have had their precioius drivetrains removed and replaced with something else before trading

A true GNX body is worth that for just the VIN plates...

The bodies of the cars could be busted up or something like that.
Think about this:
What if a new or rare car was in an accident, had the frame tweaked, got "fixed" and was never the same? Good reason to C4C it, even if it was relatively new or "valuable".
