The Town of Riverhead negotiated a $2.7 million contract to store the salvaged cars for up to one year. Town Supervisor Sean Walter says just because a car was submerged does not mean there is going to be leakage into the aquifer.
"We really believe any environmental disaster claims are really unfounded, and objectively looking at these vehicles they do not look any different than any vehicles parked at a suburban mall across the country,” he said.
Copart is one of the major salvage companies handling the Sandy vehicles. A man identified only as Brian gave us an idea where these cars will end up.
“All over the world, really. We have got a lot that are going overseas to the Middle East, a lot to Africa, different parts, and a lot going down Central America,” he said.
There are concerns in the U.S. that Sandy-damaged cars are being sold to unwitting buyers, and many law enforcement agencies in the country give advice on how to check for damage. As one Texas salvage dealer said, in any flood-damaged car sale, there is one thing to remember, “Let the buyer beware.”
