@@midgetmayo These are rust-belt cars, I’d bet really money that Cressida had all kinds of floorpan and subframe-mount rot. The channel owner has commented on that directly, since he’s gotten a lot of messages similar to your regarding other vehicles: they might look okay, but they’re generally far from salvageable.
@@smakfu1375 Okay , for sake of arguement, let's imagine that Cressida was rusted out beyond repair (floor / unibody structure rust ) It still looks to me like there would be a lot of body panels, trim pieces, interior pieces that are probably quite rare and some Toyota enthusiast would be willing to pay a fortune for say a headlight bezel for example.. That stuff can't be easy to find for a car like that.. Even the complete shell in a rusted out condition is still worth money.
Crushing that Cressida was hard to watch...the super rare parts....the rear....hard to find trim pieces.....omg!!! I feel tears ready to fall. The only good thing is now there is one less of them, and makes mine worth more money.
I have my late mother's 1982 cressida and your word's hit me deeply also, I've been looking for parts for year's😢 she still runs good but I don't drive her much because I'm afraid she might break and that would devastate me
@@anthonydale9508 I totally feel ya. What color is yours? What parts are you in need of? I posted some videos of mine on my channel if ya want to have a look. :) Cheers
@@anthonydale9508 Rock Auto & E Bay (have to space them out or my comment gets auto deleted) I don't understand how so many people with old/classic cars don't know about either being great places for parts. I think that's another reason why so many saveable cars end up in the JY - some lying mechanic tells them "You can't find parts for these anymore" either as a cop out or because they don't want to put in the effort to work on a pre 1996 car.
It's been so many years I haven't seen a Toyota Cressida you barely see one anymore they use to be bigger than Camry plus when the Avalon came which my mom has now that's the biggest Toyota car after Cressida was no longer around
You can always opt for the Lexus LS, the largest Toyota-based sedan sold in North America. In Japan, it was marketed as a Toyota Celsior until the Lexus brand was introduced domestically there in 2006.
Pontiac had all that washer fluid. The other liquids could have been rain water inside the trunk. Who knows how long these cars have been sitting around before they are crushed.
Grandpa: "Consumer Reports says buy nothing but Honda or Toyota. I'm keeping this one in my garage and never driving it in the winter. My grandchildren will think it's so cool it'll still be on the road in 50 years." Grandchildren: "who wants this thing? Sell it for scrap." Scrapyard: "It's so old that no one will ever pull any parts off of it. Straight to the crusher after pulling the alloy wheels off."
Basically every car made within the past 40+ years. I mean, imagine someone in 50 years will find a Dodge Intrepid in a barn with 50 miles on it, and send it straight to a place like this. Because it was just as crappy and ugly new as it would be if it had 500,000 miles on it.
2:02 a perfectly good windshield washer reservoir went to waste. Someone would have bought that off of ya if ya would have taken it off and it was full of fluid. The last car a gas tank was ruptured.
I think most crushed here are past the point of rescue. Stood unused open to the elements would cause rust or other body damage and probably seize the drivetrain solid
I'm sad to see some nice cars pressed but yet, I like those vides. Anyway, is there a chance to save me some license plates? I just adore american plates...
I always dreamed that I could afford to buy a car when I had a family, but it could not happen because I was poor, even though I now have two children in my arms, I could not afford it. Help me achieve my goal. I really want a car for everyday living. Whether the car you give me old or new, I would be happy to accept.
Sad to see the older ones go but I don’t look at it as the end of the car life but as a new beginning of a recycled product. Keep ‘em crushing.🚐🏎🚙🛻🚚🚓🚑🚎🚜😎
