Just got home from work for nearly 10 miles I was stuck behind a Chevy cruze as these were 1 of the few Chevrolets sold In Europe & been an English man this was the 2nd ever top gear track car for the celebs to set a lap time .
Just throwing this out there. I may need a 2016 Chevy Cruz Eco engine soon. Anyone know how hard they are to find? What kind of a price range are theses going for?
Insurance companies will only send them vehicles worthy of crushing. Most come from tow yards, the city or random people. These cars are mostly all something you'd put on liability insurance anyway. Insurance will send most anything worth repairing to copart or IAA for be sold. Im sure they buy some from these places but that's probably not their primary business.
@autopartscity-Illinois I've never actually been to your facility but know enough about the game from your videos and prior knowledge. A business degree probably helps as well. I did have a buddy buy a purple Scion off you guys though.
Let’s see the SRX crushed, a co worker of mine had the exact same color one and everything. Such a piece of junk but he kept fixing it until over 200K miles. Funny guy but unfortunately he is no longer with us due to cancer.
@ ultimately yes, he had to have the timing chains replaced, 2 differential replacements, two water pumps, two starter and finally a battery drain that resulted in him taking out all of the unnecessary fuses.

Depends on how many they already have in the yard and how well the parts are selling.
@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va I work part-time for a salvage yard. There's a massive need for those parts
First time i've instantly recognised a car! That Pontiac's a VE Commodore here in Australia
Yea same lol. Didn't even know they went to the states with the Rattletec. Thought it was just the 6.0 V8
@CrustyOldFridge410 yea I was the same, always thought it was just the SS that went over rebadged
Merry Christmas Auto Parts City!! Love your show..daily viewer
Kinda glad it was cold out .we got a longer video today. Appreciate it 👍
More to come!
you should do a video called smash or pass
Unbelievable idea

They sold the Cruze in England? Why would they compete with Vauxhall?
@@herbiehusker1889They sold them all over Europe. Almost the same car as Opel Astra. All being GM at the time. Crazy I know.
VE Holden commodore pontiac G8 they were made here in Adelaide (Elizabeth) Australia
Man that Ridgeline was a hell of a hit.
Smashed , smashed , smashed ... Totaled !
Like he's doing Field Triage in "Saving Private Ryan (1998)".
The G8 comes in 3 engines
3600 V6 (worst engine ever made)
LS2 6.0
LS3 6.2
Finally, walk-through. Don't stop now.
Too bad the Holden only has a V6.
Be glad it wasn’t the v8 being smashed
Wow on average how many vehicles do you normally get in a day 🤷♂️👍🔧🇨🇦

Scotty needs parts from that Matrix. Lol

This video was a ‘smashing’ hit.
See if you can try to get the Lincoln LS or the Cadillac DeVille fixed up.
Those two will probably be the first ones going into the crusher. Not worth fixing
@@shanelee4094Ridgeline is the first to the crusher. No one wants any parts off that thing.
@@shanelee4094 we won’t even turn the keys on those 😊
How do you obtain all these cars? Do you purchase from insurance companies for the most part?

Sorry about your buddy.😢Did his SRX have electrical issues??🧐
