What do people who buy junk cars do with them?

The newspaper ad says $180 and up for junk or unwanted vehicles. Do they just take out the good parts and smash the rest? Thanks

Answer
Some are fixed up and resold, some are scrapped for the metal weight, some are stripped of usable parts and then scrapped. It all depends on the vehicle and the buyer. I have bought cars strictly for parts and then either sold or gave away the rest after I took what I needed.

Why do dealerships always have misprinted ads?

Arlen

I know cars pretty well and I know what all the models are supposed to look like. Why do the newspaper ads almost always have obvious errors, where the model name does not match the picture, such as a ford focus title and price with a ford fusion picture? Do they do that on purpose so they can weasel out of the deal? I know misprints happen, particularly in newspapers, but this is such a regular occurrence that there seems to be something intentional going on.

Answer
They do it on purpose to get you into the dealership and then try to pull the old 'bait and switch' on you.
