What happens to new cars that are not sold?
Who knows what happens to any new car that is put on the market but is not sold? With all the millions of cars that are manufactured world wide, surely, not every single one of these is sold. Do they destroy them, try to sell them ‘real cheap’, donate them, give them to low socioeconomic countries, leave them to rot, the manufactures keep them and drive them? There must be one car in this world that will not get sold, so what happens to it?

they will try to sell them no matter what. so obviously they’ll lower the prices till they sell.
although
if there’s one car that will not be sold no matter what, i dunno what they’d do to it. maybe donate it? because no use paying to destroy it if you can just donate it for almost no cost.

Sometimes they shunt it off to another dealer in the hopes that he can get rid of it. By the time I got to buying my 2000 Mazda 626, there were only two of them left in town, and the lots were filling up with 2001s.
I read the paperwork. This car had sat at a dealership near Dallas for nine months, went unsold, and was moved to Oklahoma City, where it sat for three months more.
Mazda scrapped four thousand cars a few years ago that had gotten dunked in the Pacific, rather than see them go on sale and possibly overwhelm the company with warranty claims due to water damage.
