I am sure there are plenty of charities or churches that know people who are in need of a car, whether new or a good used one. Why don’t the car companies donate the cars to them and take get a tax break?

I’m not gonna spend a dime on a new car until they bring the prices way down to what those pieces of junk are really worth.

These pictures may really represent cars stored waiting to be shipped in 2003. Ships take a lot of cars and there is not always one ready to go.

I wonder if it is possible that there will not be a 2011 car made with this glut, if it is true. The cost of development has to be spread out over every car made. Fewer cars made will mean more cost per car.

The VW from WWII was Hitler’s idea. A car where the front and rear fenders were interchangeble. The design did not change every year. What difference does it make these days when most cars look a like.

Tons of money could be saved if there were maybe just 6 different engines and 6 different transmissions. Can you imagine the savings if you could buy a filter that that would fit 1997-2009.

I once had a car where I had to be careful and buy a fuel filter that was made for a 1987 1/2 and not a 1987. The cost is incredible for all the filters that were never sold but stored and then went to the garbage.

In 1987 I had to pay $100 (discounted from $125) head light shell because the lense was cracked.

I remember when I could buy a bag of potato chips and the whole rack was 10 feet long. The soda section was 20 feet long. Now, chip and soda with all the flavors is a whole aisle. People are really spoiled.

Hold on because we are going into a depression. But this time people will really suffer because they do not burn wood, many people are not self sufficient by living on a family farm, people must have cable, cell phone, internet and Bull’s tickets on $50,000 a year.

I’m the new rich now. Not that I mak any more money, but because so many people have lost so much more. Any time I want finacial advice, I go to the curb. My broker is living in his car.

Good. Now maybe they’ll lower those prices down to what those cars are really worth

How is this different from a year ago – I’ve seen many lots like that even when sales were strong. Where is the proof these are unusually high volumes. FUD!

Maybe if it didn’t take 5 years to pay off a car that’ll break down right after the last payment….

Ah yes, the old system of greed hard at work. These people would probably rather melt them down than admit to making a mistake.

Sadly, car co’s will never fire-sale their cars. It dilutes their brand and could ruin their image (“Hey, I bought one last week at full price!”). They will crush them or cut them up for scrap before they sell them off cheap.

Oh, and the test track was not built to store cars. It was probably just not being used and they needed land to park the cars.

Prices will keep going down I am sure. They just want to get as much as they can out of the ones they have at dealerships. Give it a while and they will start getting desperate.

how much does it cost to store them now?

I would dearly love to get 2 of them ( any make or model) for my step daughter and grand daughter.

You’d think they could just sell them off cheap to prevent having to pay for them to be stored. I mean, how much does a test track cost to build? There has to be a better solution. I’d happily pay less for an older new car.
