Can’t say I have ever seen or heard of that happening. It’s usually a money making deal for them.

Re: [MBZ] Car Disposal?
Max and I went to LKQ Saturday and pulled a bunch of stuff from a SEC they had there. There was a “new” 211 sitting in the intake lot. I need a wheel 🛞 , the other 211 wheels have been picked so i asked the guy when it would be available and he said they were waiting on the title to it before it could go in the yard. There was a 164 there with a set of AMG wheels some curb rash with good Michelins, I was tempted to grab them all. --FT Sent from iFōn > On Jun 14, 2022, at 9:28 AM, dan penoff.com via Mercedes > wrote: > > Spoke to neighbor the other day.

Re: [MBZ] Car Disposal?
Spoke to neighbor the other day. He sold the car off to a recycler who went to the impound yard to pick it up. He haggled with the impound yard and got their price down somewhat. Said the amount the recycler paid for the remains nearly covered the impound fees. Interesting exposure to the seedier side of business. Pretty skeezy if you ask me. -D > On Jun 9, 2022, at 9:57 AM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > Yes > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On Jun 9, 2022, at 10:05 AM, dan penoff.com via Mercedes >> wrote: >> >> It pretty much appears that if he just walks away from this the yard will >> take possession of the remains of the truck and do with it as they please. >> >> Thanks, everyone! >> >> -D >> >>> On Jun 8, 2022, at 11:26 PM, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes >>> wrote: >>> >>> I don’t know about Florida but here if a vehicle sits for 30days >>> (“abandoned”) the yard or mechanic can file a lien and then has to auction >>> it off.

Seems his college aged school son totaled his (the son’s) little pickup truck, a 2010-2012 Ford of some sort. Because of the minimal value and limited resources of the son, who works in the summer to pay his bills, the truck had no collision or comp coverage, so it’s essentially a write-off for him. Sheriff had the truck towed to an impound lot from the crash site. Three days in (this apparently happened sometime on Monday) the fees at the impound lot are already something crazy, like $650, and of course increasing exponentially every day. The son has no interest in the remains of the vehicle, and certainly doesn’t have the resources to cover the impound fees. I’m assuming he would even have to pay to have the wreck hauled off to someplace like CoPart or LKQ, if they would even want it. So the neighbor’s wondering (he’s asking me, because he knows I’m a “car guy") if I think the impound place, a private towing firm contracted to the County for such services, would just take the title to the truck in lieu of the fees. I’m thinking that the scrap value of the truck is probably minimal, so even if he did this they would still want the balance of the fees they’ve charged to-date. I presume they could take a lien on the truck/title, but even if they did that it’s still more or less worthless and they won’t get jack out of the kid, who has reached the age of majority and is not on anything connected to the parents as far as I know. Let’s also realize that these places charge exorbitant fees as a way to rip people off, of course, and I have to believe there are plenty of instances where they don’t get a dime. Anyone encounter a situation like this, or know of one or a resolution for it? -D ___ 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 >>> >>> ___ >>> 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 >>> >> >> ___ >> 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 >> > > > ___ > 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 > ___ 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
