With the Volvo incident, some people went down and removed them from the water. All they needed was a little bit of repair and then they were sold cheap.

Thats not true. They removed the ship because it was in a main shipping lane. The cars were not repaired or resold, they are scrap metal.

More on incident involving ship carrying Volvo, BMW, and Saab vehicles.
Volvo's UK products services manager, John Rawlings, said: "You can't possibly get a car back into a fit state once it's been in salt water. We have to think of the effect on our prestige image of selling these things."

People may mention the stock of haundai going down when if you think about it with the insurance $$ they will be recieving from this incident it will basically increase production, those 4k cars may have been sold over a 3-4 month period now they were "SOLD" in one day, those stocks will rise as soon as this mess is all taken care of.
