Cash for Clunkers Idea?

[~shocktheman~]

Just wanted a quick opinion from you guys. The cash for clunkers program ends today, but I had an idea. I'm in the market for a new vehicle and I do have a worthless clunker that I could get a $4500 value for with the CFC program. I'm not interested in any of the vehicles in my price range, but I thought maybe I could get a vehicle through the program, and retrade it in this week even and make a profit. For example:

I find a vehicle for $13000, and trade in my clunker which brings the final cost down to $8500. Later I bring it to a different dealer as a trade in and make $10000, which is an overall profit of $1500.

What do you guys think about this? I know someone's probably thought of this, but I can't find an answer. Do you think it would work?

i doubt you'll make that much trade-in value off of it.

As soon as the vehicle leaves the lot it looses so much value that you won't make 10g off it unless the car is like a 25k car and then you might as well just buy what you want.

Not only that, but this program has so many restrictions. What vehicle do you have? Just because its a clunker doesn't mean it qualifies for the program.
