Every automotive assemlby plant I've visited has lots Posted by MI-Roger [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Saabs to the crusher, Leo, Tue, 17 Jan 2012 13:28:35 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Every automotive assembly plant I've visited has lots of partially completed bodies sitting around which are defective sub-assemblies with something very wrong that happened when pieces were being welded together. Some have fatal paint errors and look like completed car boies ready for assembly
Sometimes these are kept for a while because they offer an eyes-on example of how difficult to fit parts can be mis-assembled. Usually they sit around until there are enough of them to justify the cost of bringing in a crusher to send the resulting blocks of crumpled steel back to the mill.
So even if the story of "cars" being crushed are true it does not mean they are completed vehicles. Frankly, the completed cars have far more value being sold to collectors or devout Saab fans.
