Car auction hurricane sandy Videos

Um... carb cleaner?

Totals can be sold at insurance auctions. But I sure hope OP doesn't try to sell this to someone. This car is going to have gremlins forever. 

It says it was bought at a salvage auction, im guessing they bought it to fix up

Shut the fuck up......BITCH

+Erik Luyten Because they aren't safe to drive. They may appear to be in one piece with no dings, but when all the innards have been submerged in salt water for hours, that results in a lot of corrosion that isn't immediately visible. And over the years, consumers have been demanding electronically controlled windows, door locks, trunk openers, etc... there's a circuit in almost every part of a modern car, and touching that with salt water will be catastrophic.If these cars even manage to start after the flood damage (and most of them can't), they'll likely break down very quickly. Or worse, what if they get into accidents and safety systems didn't kick in because electronics were fried? Maybe in poor countries the buyers won't care so much about safety systems, but they definitely care about having a car that WORKS because they can't afford to go to the dealer service centre every month. Repairing the flood damage would require you to completely tear apart the car and replace a shit ton of components, in which case you might as well manufacture a fresh one from the assembly line. Crushing the cars and reusing raw materials is a better use of time and money.

Those cars are flooded. They can malfunction during operation cause lose control and wreck, and even deploy air bags. Killing you when you wreck. Is that what your willing to put you or your family through?

Ikr!!!! What a waste of money just in the rims and tires alone.

+DYNO DON my college auto program got a hurricane sandy caddy xts.

+jorge chiu salt will eat the car from the inside out its kind of like living in NY where  the car gets eaten from the outside in

+hayden lamoureux In poor countries, people usually buy old Japanese cars (i.e. Land Cruisers from the 90s and 90s) that didn't suffer this sort of salt water damage. Yes, a brand new car that got written off by flood damage is worth just as much, but no one's buying it if it doesn't start, and even if it starts, it better damn well run problem-free for the next decade with minimal maintenance or else it won't sell. And when 99% of the electrical components got fried by salt water, that's not gonna happen. The repairs required to get the car to start and run for a long time (not even considering the repairs to electronic safety systems) would require you to basically tear apart and rebuild every nook and cranny at which point you might as well manufacture a new car.

+TouchyBanana I find it funny how I own a 2012 Honda Accord what was flooding and i can say i rather not own it. It has only 8k miles but Gas cap light is stuck on 24-7 . USB failed and AUX jack failed. Dome light Failed and metal some parts of the car such as the metal rails the seat are on are crusted with white stuff off the meta;

if they tried to fix it to make it run, it'd cost more than the new price of the car and it's just too damn expensive to do it and some cars were salt water damaged from Sandy and those definitely had to go to the scrap

having a flood car is the top reason you dont buy it everything will rust and all safy equipment can go off at any time or your car just kills you. Its better to scrap them VS trying to make them run.

The safest place for a large vessel in a hurricane is NOT in the harbor. It is out to sea! ...and heading away from the dangerous semi-circle, of which no one seems to know except the few seafaring folks around....sorry state of affairs.... ..go get your USCG captains license, before you make stupid comments, or comments that make you look really stupid. Stay away from friggin' hurricanes, unless you want to see where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours.

I'm so sorry to hear this news and will not judge why or what happened. What I do know is that my prayers go out to the families of those lost. I loved to see that beautiful wood boat in St. Pete when it visited our harbor and it did so much good in the area. What an awesome sight to see a "tall ship"!! Not something you see every day. She and the crew taught history, fellowship and the hardships of sailing in the old way. God Bless those that gave their lives for the HMS Bounty.

Decisions to sail in modern times should not be the total discretion of one man (The Captain). Sailing along the edge of a Hurricane in the hope of getting from A to B is a poor risk assessment at best and puts people at extreme risk. In this case poor decision making that cost the man in charge of the vessel the ultimate price and that of one of his crew. Totally unnecessary.

Dont understand..what was staying on the ship going to do for saving it..Massive Hurricane coming and it wasnt headed south or north to a port to dock...Captain goes down with the ship instead of getting in the rescue wraft..sounds like some lets feed the bear, play with alligators we can ride out a 1000 mile storm on a wooden ship bs..

You always walk around with your stupid hanging out like that? Wooden vessels have life spans in the hundreds of years, quite unlike the plastic tubs of today. Never heard of osmotic blistering did you? Like lots of other things you don't know. Keep your filthy mouth to yourself, will you?

Moc mě mrzí ztráta HMS Bounty byla to nádherná loď,vím že posádka dělala vše pro záchranu plachetnice a má mojí úctu.Bůh ochranňuj duše Claudene Christian a kapitána Robina Wallbridge.Hurricane Sandy byl důstojný soupeř.Věřím že postavíte novou HMS Bounty.

i think captain america suit is better than that survival suit. it gives them power/strength to fight with the hurricane sandy grease summer loving... and they can wear it for halloween as well. happy halloween. hope everyone stays safe.

The captain went down with his ship...sad story, which has become buried is a sea of junk news. The United States Coast Guard are the greatest people you will ever meet, if you ever need them.

so sad :( I wish that I could have seen it in real life. made in the 60's... lets hope one day they can make another replica ship like this.

HMS SHIP LOGIC:" theres a hurricane!, quick lets go sailing" " lets put in danger rescue swimmers" shouldve let them all drown..

What a great decision to go out into the open seas during a hurricane on a 50 year old model of a ship from the 18th century!

I feel so bad about what happened to that beautiful ship. You don't see many old-style ships like those anymore. :(

My brother got to see it and go on a tour of it in nova scotia. He sailed there from michigan on the apple dore

they sunk the pearl!!! - jack will bring it up again.. he'll pick it up at the end of the world!

first of all why is there still wooden fucking ships trolling the seas, idiots

Damn, they interviewed the mother just after the daughter died?

Actually went to this thinking it was a Star Trek Parody :/

It was the Bounty not HMS it was not a commissioned vessel

HMS BOunty was used in the Pirates of the Caribbean.

I WAS ON THIS SHIP 2 YEARS AGO! omg R.I.P

your so lucky you've been on it! (:

GOOD GOD, THEY SUNK THE BLACK PEARL!

Assasin's creed in reallife..

Its not a stupid boat

She is a Legend

+imasharky I know but in the video it looks like it

+Fabian Sisso The wind was 100mph....?

+ShatteredSoul〈/3 That's my family for ya.

this was hundreds of miles from center of the storm. i live 500 miles away from where hurricane sandy hit and we got 50 mph winds

that's sad, but trees fall over storm or no storm

+Luke Stubbz a piss weak storm? my neighbor who was crossing the street to go to their friends house (who had a generator) was crushed by a fallen tree right infront of his two children

+Luke Stubbz I live in the south. now, of course, I know this storm was a "weak gust of wind" but you have to understand that the NE isn't use to cyclones. Just for some perspective, you know that winter storm we got last year in January? Well to the people in the NE, that's just a "weak ice storm". They're use to what we got but we're not use to what they got. I mean, we shut down the entire city for a little sleet storm while that would be a normal city day for someonein New Jersey.

Your welcome, you didn't see the devastation that we have lived with after this storm. I have friends that are still NOT back in there homes yet. 2 1/2 years later.

thanks 77hus love you 2 xoxo

+Luke Stubbz You are a fucking retard. Mate.

haha first or second time commenting on here mate. I know your type hide behind your pc, ya key board warrior plz stop giving me notification's I don't want to help feed your power trip/ego addiction. you drop kick!

Haha, you're such an idiot. You don't need to lose a life from researching dumbass, in fact, you're the person who doesn't have a life because you've probably said shit things on other videos as well. Dumbass.

Get a life mate

+Luke Stubbz So you're judging a hurricane over one video, that was filmed by a kid in ONE neighborhood? lmao. 

Well we get cyclones here and they blow a lot harder then this little gust of wind in the video

I'm guessing you don't go to school and do geography , do you? Hurricane sandy was the biggest storm ever to hit New York dumbass. Get your facts right.
