They get put at the top of the list. They’ll try various things like a VIN swap from a rig destined for dealer stock, offer a customer something close, or re-build and force it into the next scheduling before any other custom or dealer orders are pulled for scheduling.
Edit: forgot to add sometimes it will continue on to the dealer and get fixed there. Especially if it’s just body damage.

It looks like it’s ford & jeep vehicles, plus some rock salt in the derailed cars. No reported injuries which is great! Time to keep an eye on copart for these vehicles to hit the auction 🤣🤣🤣

Depending on the damage they might just fix the Jeep and pass it along to the consumer. And while the repair was done while part of Jeep stock it may not ever get reported on a CarFax. And it may never get disclosed to the purchaser unless they ask about it. Years ago my parents ordered a Ford Waggy and it arrived with a busted window from the train ride. They slapped a new window in and sold it to my parents

I hope they can fix them and minimize the delay. Man, that would suck to be so close to the finish line and have to start all over...

Especially if it’s a discontinued color like hydro and reign.

Normally new cars that have been involved in train wrecks are sent to scrap yards. The manufacturers don’t want to deal with them.

I see the new thread tomorrow. "So my Jeep got crashed on a train. Is it fixable?"
I am thinking that very same thing...I feel the emotion that this will going cause is going to be pain and remorse for those that have been waiting so long already...hopefully they can rectify this quickly for their upset customers even though that it's not their fault.

To be honest, chances are pretty small that any of those Jeeps were ones that people were waiting on. Most people just buy off the lot (even if they have to look through a few lots).
