you would think they would take the vehicle completely apart….body parts, windshield, lights..things were still good on those vehicles…why not sell those parts instead of people having to buy brand new…no wonder the insurance writes cars off… If body shops could have access to those parts instead of having to buy new, the cost of repairing would be worth it and maybe perfectly good vehicles would have a second chance.
I hope there was something terribly wrong with the ’99 Tacoma because they are in demand now – they get decent mileage, are very reliable and tough, and have great ground clearance and payload. One of those in good shape (like it appeared, if there was nothing wrong with it) is worth about $6000.
Canada has way more money than America. and were smarter with it too. the Canadian national debt is 1 trillion dollars. that might seem like a lot but compared too america, its nothing. your debt is $14,710,000,000,000.
In the United States 90% of those cars would be on the road still. The other 10% would have been torn down and sold the parts. That’s why we have more money
It could be an Insurance situation. The car could still run. But due to water damage/impact damage/etc, it could cost more than the car is valued to repair it. So the car is marked Totalled, Insurance writes it off, and the car has to be scrapped.
Ooooh, while funny, this episode was hard to watch. That truck looked and sounded like it ran perfectly fine. And here I am sitting in the damn freezing snow waiting for the always late transit bus…
This is a great option! For all those OLD CARS sitting in your garage, or those ones that simply cost to much to repair, send it to a SCRAP CAR RECYCLING COMPANY. I think companies like these are taking valuable metals, fluids, etc. and making money. Simultaneously, they are saving space in the landfills and accepting cars that would otherwise release too much carbon dioxide. You are applauded.
The truck was likely a trade in, dealers usually have contracts with wrecks so traded in cars go straight to the crusher if their value is under a certain amount (usually $5000 depending on the dealer). Trust me I’ve gone through some trade in grave yards at local dealers and they refuse to sell anything to me. This is half the reason I hate people
Dude those can go for like $200. I have gone to places like that for my old Ranger. Usually they have just stacks and stacks of Windshields and doors at those places. That is the most common stuff that people mess up on their vehicles (well that they mess up and then are willing to fix)

Actually our government is 15 trillion in dept. Take a look at the GDP.

Could have been in a horrible front end accident.

The only GM I like and a toyota pickup crushed, I are sad, it looked like it had another 400’000 km left.

It is called a used car lot.
They recycle the cars because they are too polluting comparing to new ones
ARG, I prayed not to see an Astro/Safari getting scrapped in this segment

A used windshield won’t sell for much
they picked it, look closer, but there was something wrong with it that makes it not road worthy.
