I had a friend who was a mechanic for a dealership when the "cash for clunkers" thing was going on. This is what he told me from the dealership telling him. All the cars being traded in on the cash for clunkers their motors had to be destroyed if it was running. No car received could leave the lot running and drained of all their fluids. This was some goverment rule for the dealersips cause the cars were going to be crushed immediatly.
