Most liked posts in thread: Video of BMW disposing cars (including MINI)

No wonder the Germans are in so much of a mess,

I'm sure you could go to northern New Jersey and

get the same thing done quicker and less expensive.

All that we just saw is figured into the price of our

now overpriced cars. I'm glad I'm on my second

and last MINI.

 

It's a shame they are not doing that to all 3rd gens.

 

WTF! Im sick to my stomach now.

 

Yeah, in Jersey they could just crush them, and let the oil, gasoline and other fluids run into the Passaic river.

CD :frown2:

 

Sad, very sad.

 

Does anyone know why these car are being recycled instead of sold for parts ?

They all look to be in very good shape.

This video reminds me of a mortuary; draining all the body liquids etc.

 

I've lived in Hurricane country, and flood cars from new car dealerships are routinely destroyed. The idea behind it is that if they are not crushed, someone will find a way to buy them cheap, and sell them to unsuspecting consumers.

Looking at the video, it appears that some parting out was done, such as wheels and tires. But, if you let those cars go out into the open market, there is a good chance someone will buy them dirt cheap, and sell them to some unsuspecting consumer.

So, basically, greed is the reason these cars have to be destroyed.

I'm ok with flood damaged cars, I need a new track toy

 

I'm all for trying to find a way to reuse ruined cars -- such as track toys. But, there are too many people out there who would find a way to sell them to some poor shmuck at a "buy here, pay here" lot.
