Good point, I hadn't thought about that, and I'm honestly not sure how
that works - cars.gov isn't terribly helpful on that question.
Both our cars are worth over $4500, I'm fairly sure - once I get the
body damage on the Subaru fixed (whenever that may happen), it should
be worth close to $9K still, and the van probably the same (lower
mileage, but less "desirable" vehicle in this region than an AWD
wagon)
