Where do NEWER cars go when they get totalled?

I know this is probably a pipe dream, but I would love to find a totalled 2001 AE Maxima, 2K2 Maxima, 2002 Q45, or 2001-2002 I30/35 for parts. However, I don't know where or how you go about finding "junk" yards with NEWER cars. All I find is actual 10-15yr. old picked over JUNK!

I do find some newer car parts on www.car-parts.com and I've checked a few others like autogator.com, but I'd really like one somewhat locally in Arizona or Nevada.

If anyone knows any or can give me the names of any in Phoenix, AZ I'd really appreciate it.

I'm just betting insurance companies have some junk yard HEAVEN somewhere to lock up all these cars, so they can scalp the prices to body shops.

Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks!

they go to places like www.casmiami.com where they go to a body shop, fixed and back on the road
but those that cant be made into a car go to the better late model junk yards,which also sell late model rebuildable cars

Hey, my 2k2 was just totalled, front end is all messed up, engine as well, interior is new, rear is new, sides of the car are perfect.Call First Trenton Insurance, find out their number, they're in NJ.Tell them you know someone with a 2k2 and you would like to know to which salvage yard it will be going so you can get parts from it.
