Apologies if this one has been done already, but reading the overpriced cars thread reminded me of a story I read a couple of weeks ago about unsold new cars just being left to rot.

This is not the first time I have read about this in the past couple of years.

To be fair I think the issue was more in Europe.

If so it seems a shame but I am interested more in why supply and demand does not allow these to come on to the market. I am puzzled that it makes more sense to a manufacturer to allow product to roll off it's production line only to be written off??

just curious....

sorry - should have posted link but just came in to my head and I can't remember where I saw it now...I was pretty sceptical about it. For what it's worth I don't think it was the Daily Mail Online...
