    That wasn't too difficult to find, as i said before...

    (14) "Salvage vehicle" means any vehicle which:

    (C) Is an imported vehicle which has been damaged in shipment and disclaimed by the manufacturer as a result of the damage, has never been the subject of a retail sale to a consumer, and has never been issued a certificate of title.


    If it's not a total loss and they don't claim it as a total loss then it can be repaired and sold as new. As a dealership have you not repaired hail damage on vehicles and sold them as new?

    you are talking about completely different damage. When a car is wrecked is different from hail damage. We can not sell the car as new. We cant sell it as salvaged either, because we dont have a liscense to sale salvaged cars. The insurace company will be able to sell those cars. Bmw will be payed for the damaged cars and will build new ones. The customers who loss their cars will be, compensated in some form.

    Some customers will receive really good discounts, or maybe some of their money back. Bmw will have to make good in some form to it's customers cars it lost. Think about why would BMW risk a law suit.

    ok since you know everything, and you are a new/ used dealer. I will leave it at that . This **** is so funny. Call a dealer right now and ask him, if he will be able to sale you those BMWs. Oh........ I forgot you are talking to one right now. We can't sell them to a consumer. As I said the insurance company can sale them, we cant.

    I'm sorry, I would never admit to being a dealer even if I was. Aside from the ethical issues I've dealt with who do you suppose I would call up? With the exception of most technicians, a couple others in service, one salesman, and maybe one person in finance I have yet to meet anyone else with redeeming qualities, common sense, or morals at ANY dealership....but that's not the subject here.

    The point is, if the vehicle has not been sold to a consumer and has not been issued a title and is damaged but is not a total loss and is not claimed as such then repairs can be made and it still be considered new.

    The only way the car can be sold as new, which all of you have failed to mention. Is if a customer is willing to sign a statement, say they will buy a car that has been wrecked. If not the car will be salvaged as I have stated. Bmw will come out better, by just build new cars and having the insurance pay for the others. I am out later.
