i wonder how long until they are parts... few hours?

 

You mean taken apart? Or sold?

The car can be completely stripped under an hour

 

wow, '94 Integra still on the list~

 

This list obviously reflects the fact that a number of these vehicles are among the best-selling new models. Those millions of new models, as they age past the time when most auto manufacturers keep and stock parts for them, require replacement parts at unscrupulous body/service shops. So, rather than buy parts from junkyards or other legitimate sources, these unscrupulous shops simply send out their best auto-theft artists to steal the cars they want, bring them back, and disassemble them for parts. It's illegal and, IMO, disgusting, but a very profitable buisness.

 

All driven by high demand for parts, due to high volume of the original vehicles' sales.

 

and those model year parts fit many year models.
