Notice the words "may be"? A lot of dealers are selling them to scrap yards and they're being crushed immediately. All of the dealers around here have been sending them to yards where they're being destroyed within two or three days. The scrap guys don't have time to pull parts off or space. I guess if they got something really intriguing they might grab some parts and sell them. From what I've heard dealers are selling them for scrap because they get more money that way, and the less used parts out there, the better for their parts department, right?
I'm glad to see cars ending up in junkyards for a while in some areas. Here, they aren't. Unless I buy a really, really flat car, I won't be reaping any parts from CFC locally.
