an interesting analysis of why decent seeming cars end up in junkyards

abandoned, results in no title or keys
250k miles, so no useful life left
since it's so high miles, other similar cars are move valuable, 
few people want OEM parts from a junkyard car, most buy the cheapest parts available online

  1. We had a nice Windstar that got backed into by a guy in truck with a trailer hitch sticking out. Went through the radiator, condenser, and messed up grill and bumper. The rest of the vehicle was still really nice, interior was nice, paint was good, however the insurance company totaled it. Perfectly good minivan gone to the junkyard and we got something like $2100.
