You're right! But the Nada data input sitll showed that year, make and model ar drove a higher than expected trade-in value. so while that vehicle by VIN was trashed, those still out there saw an aritificially induced increase in expected market value based on trade in data history. Which meant that if a dealer had one in stock not traded in under the program, he just increased its "apparent" value.
