As you know, we love a good deal. There were 200,000 cars damaged by Sandy and many of them are headed to a Long Island Airport.
Insurance Auto Auctions Corp. has agreed to pay the town of Riverhead, which owns the airport, $3,200 per month for every acre taken up by the cars.
So - What can I do to put you in this slightly water damaged car today?
More than 200,000 cars in the New York area are believed to have been damaged by Hurricane Sandy’s floods and rains.
Some of the cars can’t be driven again and will end up being salvaged just for parts.
But the insurance companies that own the cars hope to sell most of them to new owners who could fix them up and put them back on the road. Most of the cars are fairly new, Walter said.
Obviously you will have a salvage title but if you can get a great deal and are handy then this will be the place to be. It also should serve as a reminder to get a CarFax because if you want a guarantee, that will be that some shady dealers will pick some up and put them on their lots.
