That's an amazing photo, the way that so many cars stacked up like a line of dominoes that got pushed; the uniformity...

Anyone know what you do if one of those were yours?

Does the dealer just order you a new one? Or do they fix the one pictured and send it "as new" ?

There's laws regarding water damaged cars, they're not allowed to sell them as new and they certainly can't sell you one of those as new, you paid/ordered a new vehicle, that's what you get. I belive those belong to insurance nowm they get sold as salvage now

I'd buy a salvaged G that's been shaken up by an earthquake, if they'd give me a decent warranty and the price was right

I understand the water part.. If they were just "stacked" up and banged around from the earthquake though.. They all still get sold as salvage?

Makes me cry all those Infinitis.. I wonder if the ones that weren't crashed have water damage?
