Why are the unsold cars finally recycled as scrap iron instead of reducing the price?

At present, there are countless new cars that major automobile manufacturers can't sell, and many of them are piled up into inventory cars. Such a stock car will not be sold at a low price at all. However, with the launch of new cars in the new year, it is difficult to sell old cars in the previous year. Because if it is sold at a low price at this time, it will definitely affect the sales of new cars, so I would rather sell scrap iron than sell it to consumers at a reduced price. So where are all these old cars that are not for sale?

According to a British media report, there are more than 65,438+0,000 new car gathering places in the universe, whose function is to accumulate "used cars" that cannot be sold by major automobile manufacturers. For a long time, these new cars have been piled up in one place and can only be recycled by scrap iron buyers at scrap iron prices.

These unsold new cars were abandoned on the "new car grave". Although there are security guards, no one cares. Over time, these cars will be dismantled and sold to suppliers in need. In fact, many smuggled cars come from here.

This gathering place is located near Hills Harbor in Liverpool, England, where more than 500,000 "used cars" are parked in an orderly manner. There is no doubt that the old cars parked here are equivalent to scrapped vehicles. The end result of these cars is that the parts will be broken down one by one and then recycled as scrap iron.

Since so many cars can't be sold every year, why don't car companies cut production? Industry experts said that if manufacturers stop or reduce the production scale of new cars, they will face a state of temporary closure, and many workers will be laid off after "layoffs". Of course, manufacturers will still try their best to recover the losses caused by unsold cars, and consumers will definitely bear it in the end.
