Do I see a scratch and dent sale coming?:tongue:
DOH! 
Reminds of that ship that tipped over and totalled a few of the first BMW M3's headed this way a year or so ago. :tongue:

Just some cars. Still strikes me as odd how often trains continue to run into each other.
Anyone remember that cargo ship of brand new Volvos that sunk in the Atlantic about 10 years ago?
Cars in disasters like that usually get bought up by auto wholesalers that reek of garlic and Aqua Velva :tongue:

I had an adjuster friend in the insurance biz, once the insurance pays off, the cars involved usually go back to the mfr for recycling, shredding, etc in order to mitigate any warranty/product liability issues.

That may be true prior to the initial owner registration, by some manufacturers, but not all of them.
I remember a GM dealership that was having their lot repaved, and there was a Cat bulldozer parked at the end of a row of cars overnight. A vandal jumped into the dozer, and started it up, leaving about 20 crushed new vehicles in its wake.
Those vehicles were not returned to GM, they were written off by insurance and sold at SMI, a salvage auction that's based near here.
I know someone else who yesterday asked me about a car that he's considering purchasing.....a flood damaged 2009 Accord EX V6 coupe.
