Cash for my Clunker

My 1997 Dodge Dakota is valued right at the spot that the government "cash for clunkers" program is offering. It is listed as having an average mileage of 13 mpg, so it is easily eligible for the program. If they hadn't mentioned that all the vehicles traded in on this program would be destroyed, I might feel a little better about taking part in it. It's a clear sign that I am too attached to the vehicles that I own, when I would be concerned about what happens after I trade one in. It looks like the money isn't going to last long for this offer anyway, but I still have to decide how much longer I can afford to drive a truck that gets 13 mpg. I've complained about Dodge products on here before and now that I have an opportunity to get a fair price, I'm having second thoughts. It's been a long time since I was foolish enough to buy a new car. If they had such a deal on used cars, I might go for it.
