The chop shops go for vehicles like s****ts cars and luxury cars where
the rediculously high price is part of the appeal.
It may come as a surprise to some but it doesen't cost the factory
$70,000 to build a Corvette. However if they dropped the price on
it then more people would buy them and the snobs who want a car
that not very many people are driving around would be uninterested in
buying them.
