Will they be sold as "New"?
Last summer I worked as a painter at a body shop for a Honda/Mazda/Lincoln/Merc dealership. When a new car would be damaged in transit, no matter how minor it was we would repair it, then the company (Honda, etc.) would pick it up and take it to a lot where it would sit until auctioned off for between 10-50% below retail.
One of the biggest stories was an S2000 that went crazy coming off the trailer and ripped up the whole passenger side. We fixed it to brand new, it went off, one of our bodymen did some inside research and bought the car off Honda for $20k. Not bad for a bright red 2001 S2000 with 8 miles on the odo
