In Nebraska? Do 4500 people even live in that state (who aren't connected to some college football team?)

That's insane. Plus, they KNOW that huge storms tear through there every year. I suspect someone's insurance rates will be exploding in the near future.

People who live in small towns and would have to travel 50 miles or more to dealer anyway, so they get on line or on the phone and this dealership has made its business advertising to a super region rather than just locally.

My father-in-law lives in Northwest Missouri and has purchased a couple of cars from them.

When you live in the country, you don't think twice about a 2 - 3 hour trip for something like this.


They also sell nationally on line.

Not even counting the thousands who will probably make the longer drive to get to them and buy, or the good deals the dealer can get with the troops at Offutt.

The modern car dealer works in networks...dealer A sells a burgundy Dart but it comes from dealer B. This 4500-car dealer yard seems to be a collection point.

It's pretty amazing what a storm can do. Hopefully they can get them repaired and on the road.

Our son has a baseball tournament in Blair this weekend. Apparently the field hosting the tournament is owned by Woodhouse and they have to use the parking lot for all these damaged cars. Fortunately, a softball organization is letting us use one of their fields.

The engines and transmission should still be OK. If they're going to go back on sale, this is a scam. How much do they sell Dodge Darts for?

size of the hail they are big dents that cannot be easily fixed.

for average cars like a Dart or a Focus, both pictured.

that means a lot of $60k+ trucks got nearly destroyed.

And have a hail sale, I might be interested. I've been wanting to get a late-model Honda Fit, but I've never paid over $10,000 for a car before...

He had a huge "Hail Sale".

He sold just about every used car on the lot. He was shipping undamaged used cars from his other locations. Not sure what he did with the new Fords.

He had adjusters on site paying claims to the dealer while he sold the cars as-is at a "discount" (which was no more discounted than usual). He had the windshield people fixing the glass so people could drive off the lot legally.

He made a fucking killing. People were lined up out the door.

Used Cars - "Mile of Cars" explanation and demonstration (at 1:24:38.)

it will look like showroom quality material for the South. And I'm not being an ass, it's true. A half price truck with a good engine and dents and dings? Automatic Camouflage with your cousins spray gun!
