Insurance companies' intended customers are salvage yards / used parts dealers.
Seems the reasonable thing to do with most of the burn cars would be to have them hauled to a scrap metal dealer instead of the salvage auction. I can't imagine selling a single part off a car that literally burned to the ground. I wanted to buy a Delorean a couple of years ago. I clicked on the item page because I thought somebody had posted a picture of a roadkilled animal by mistake and I was curious as to what it was. It didn't even look like a motor vehicle in the thumbnail sized pic, but in the full sized pics you could make out some car parts in the melted rubble. The $60 minimum bid wasn't a deterrent, but the cost to haul it home from Kentucky was. I thought it'd look great hanging on the garage wall under a sign that said "1.21 Gigawatts, Baby!". I forgot to watch the auction and see what it sold for. > On April 16, 2019 at 12:57 PM Allan Streib via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > > Why is it worth anyone's time to photograph and enter a listing for a > vehicle like that which is clearly beyond economical repair? > > Why are these not just sold for the scrap metal value? > _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
