A Colorado man turned in a pristine 1985 Maserati BiTurbo car for use in the Cash for Clunkers program. The car had only 18,000 miles, with a near-mint interior and exterior, but had engine problems.http://www.portfolioweekly.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=&nm=&type=MultiPublishing&mod=PublishingTitles&mid=6EECC0FE471F4CA995CE2A3E9A8E4207&tier=4&id=6E19B6E84F144C16BED9278DA3C392D8
He stated that he tried to sell the car for roughly the same amount as the government rebate, $3,500, but was unsuccessful. Per the regulations of the program, the car will be crushed.http://www.portfolioweekly.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=&nm=&type=MultiPublishing&mod=PublishingTitles&mid=6EECC0FE471F4CA995CE2A3E9A8E4207&tier=4&id=6E19B6E84F144C16BED9278DA3C392D8
