they cant repair them, they have to make them a total loss.

This was in the article....



Those cars with light damage will be repaired at the Elizabeth Receiving facility and sold through BMW's dealer network as new cars.

I dont know which article you read, but the one I read said they will have to make them a total loss. I am a car dealer, and they would not let us fix or sale them.

I didnt say the dealer would repair them dumbass, I said they wouldnt let us fix or sale them. Reading is your friend bish.

You originally said they can't repair them then you said as a dealer you can't repair them either...then who is?!

Some will be a total lost but those with cosmetic damage only will be repaired. If the manufacturer doesn't make a total loss claim on a specific car who says they can't take it back to the plant and put it back to new condition then ship it to a dealer to sell as new? It's no different than if a machine malfunctioned on an assembly line and they had to run it back through.

I would hope so, a damaged car sold as new, can you say law suite

[aaronfelipe]

I thought they were all going to be totaled too. I mentioned it because I read it in the link he posted.

[Thighs]

repost you stupid ***** lolol

wuz good oz

[1SICKLEX]

THe sad thing is they WILL be resold to unsuspecting customers....by someone...

[aaronfelipe]

sucks

[1000cckiller]

sucks

troof

[atlxpat]

repost! why? cause i made the first one! mwahahah

[Reaper]

this isn't the first time this has happened either. A few years back they lost a whole ship to the Atlantic..300+ cars are sitting at the bottom somewhere

[DieselNuts]

wow, that does suck. i would be pissed if i was first in line to get one.

[speedminded]

you are talking about completely different damage. When a car is wrecked is different from hail damage. We can not sale the car as new. We cant sale it as salvaged either, because we dont have a liscense to sale salvaged cars. The insurace company will be able to sale 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.

How on earth is a car damaged in a shipping container or during transport any different than hail damage or vandalism on a car lot? Any car that has not been sold to a consumer or been issued a title is a new car and will remain a new car until so, even if it requires minor repairs as long as it can't be considered a totaled vehicle...frame/chassis damage, etc.

P.S. It's sell

You own a dealership, yet have a hard time understanding the difference between "sell" and "sale"? I'd love to be a fly on the wall when a customer comes in and you tell them "Hello, is there anything i can sale you today?". That is, unless your customers have a hard time understanding the English language too, then you'd be OK.
I'm sorry, but if i went to a dealership and a sales person talked to me like that, I'd walk right out...laughing.

you are a dumbass for real. One I am closing deals and typing at the same time. You probably can't afford to buy a car anyway, so you wouldn't be coming in. Its so funny how many of you try to correct someone. What job do you have?

Bragging about your job on the internet is well...... do i really need to say anything? I'm living comfortably enough to not need to brag about it all over IA lol

[Doppelgänger]

Hating? Yes, I'm "hating" the fact that i know the difference between "sale" and "sell". I mean, if it was a mistake here and there, that would be one thing. But in all your posts, you use "sale" where "sell" should go lol.

last word.

No you fail at being a douche and you keep talking about, the same ****. Obviously that's all you can do with your spare time, seeing that you are crying like a little ***** about a spelling error. See I have better things to do than talk about the same ****. So as you continue to repeat the same ****, I will continue to collect money.

Douche
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

A vaginal bulb syringe. Note the lateral holes near the tip of the nozzle (about 1cm, or 1/2 inch thick).

This "fountain syringe" should only be used for douching, by replacing the attached enema nozzle with the vaginal nozzle (shown bottom left). The vaginal nozzle is longer, thicker, and has lateral holes.
A douche is a device used to introduce a stream of water into the body for medical or hygienic reasons, or the stream of water itself. The word comes from the French language, in which its principal meaning is a shower (it is thus a notorious false friend encountered by non-native speakers of English; the phrase for vaginal douching is douche vaginale, meaning vaginal shower).

The word can refer to the rinsing of any body cavity but usually applies to vaginal irrigation, rinsing of the vagina. A douche bag is a piece of equipment for douching: a bag for holding the water or fluid used in douching (the term douche bag can also be used as an insult; see below for slang uses). To avoid transferring intestinal bacteria into the vagina, the same bag must not be used for a vaginal douche and an enema.

So I wonder..........

Words fail at describing your self ownage.... i had to quote this for everyone to laugh at later.

[1000cckiller]

Dude you dont get the point. The cars can only be sold with a customer signing a disclousre, saying he will accept a damaged or wreck car. If is not sold that way, it will be deemed a total loss. How many people do you know, that are going to sign that disclosure? We have already had a case like that before and almost got sued.

[Nismo]

light damage is minor scratches or a new bumper cover, no body panel damage. They will probably mark them down anyhow.

[.blank cd]

I used to work at Nissan back when the Maxima/Altima plant had a big hailstorm and we got a bunch of dinged up cars. All were sold AS NEW and marked down and documented as hail damaged. This is what will happen to the BMWS that were not TOTALLED. All that that were only scratched or dented will be repaired and sold AS NEW and documented as damaged in transport and probably marked down considerably

A customer would have to sign a document saying he/she would buy, a damanged or wrecked car. That is the only way.

They dont always have to sign that document. I dont even think we had a document like that. cause all the customers knew up front what they were getting. Some of the vehicles werent repaired and still had damage on them.

dude, that's messed up. id hate to have bought one, and not receive it.

Now, About Your BMW

SOME customers waiting patiently for a new BMW have received unhappy news: 122 were totaled during a rough North Atlantic crossing that damaged 430 of the vehicles.

The Courage, a car carrier headed to New Jersey from a North Sea port in Germany, rolled in heavy winter seas on Jan. 2, breaking BMWs from their lashings and sending them pinballing around a cargo hold. The ship docked in Newark on Jan. 11.

“Once one car broke loose, it all started going downhill,” said Tom Plucinsky, a BMW spokesman. “They just beat each other to death.”

The smashed cars included 30 examples of one of the year’s most anticipated models: the high-performance M3 coupe and sedan. Mr. Plucinsky said the M3s were not customer models, but were designated for dealer introduction events.

The 732 BMWs aboard also included 3-, 5-, and 7-Series models, X3 sport utilities and the first 1 Series coupes for the United States. The 1 Series, a new model, goes on sale in March.

Mr. Plucinsky said BMW had contacted the customers affected. For models whose damage is less than 3 percent of its value, buyers can choose to accept a repaired car or a similar model, or have a new car built to order.

Repairable cars with more than 3 percent damage will be driven by company employees. They will eventually be resold as certified used cars, with full disclosure of their history.

BMW estimated that the retail value of the totaled cars was more than $6 million.
