Anyone thinking of a Cube? (Don't laugh)

Sadly, my truck doesn't qualify.

It's a 4-banger, and according to the EPA it gets 22 (or is it 24?) combined MPG...which is VERY hard to believe...

I'd trade it in, but, I doubt I can afford anything that I'd want to take in trade, even if I could get the rebate...

The EPA numbers have always been screwy. They say this Yukon is 13 mpg combined, but for 11 years I've always gotten 16.5 mpg on regular. For my friend the retired racer's old Dodge pickup, the EPA combined estimate is 3 mpg the OTHER way -- he always gets much worse than they project.

A lot of people I know would really love to have a 10-year old POS worth $4500 credit toward a new car, but the government says, "because you were prudent back then -- 'no soup for you' ". (In my defense, I actually needed the Yukon when I expanded the house, then kept it a few extra years to carry around the dog in my avatar. But he's gone, now...)

Under the restrictions I can't give this $4500 credit away, nor can I sell it to someone and have them get the credit. I'd have to buy something that someone wants (new), then sell that to them. But the highest possible value is like I said at the beginning -- a "milk run" car (so I can keep the miles off the Z).
