It might be of interest to some for a new thread or classified section for Grenadiers in salvage auctions, wreckers or breakers yards selling second hand parts. I understand that most of the Grenadiers are currently still under warranty but having the knowledge of where cars are being dismantled for second hand parts may be very helpful for people who want quicker repairs, repair their own stuff ups or people like myself who have a small collection of spare parts to maintain a vehicle. The thread's intention is not to discuss the accident but more for locating second hand parts from salvage and breakers who are not on Ineos forums.

Why don’t we as group buy it? We can start the Global Grenadiers Salvage Depot (G2SD) *note that it should be read as “G squared”. Everyone gets an ownership % based on their initial contribution. ”Owners” would get a discount based on their initial contribution and have priority over “non-owners”. There could be locations in the US, UK/Europe, and Australia Or each could be separate entities but have agreements to share inventory.

At least in a frontal crash - the cabin is VERY intact. The main cabin got very little damage. Okay seeing a Grenadier like so is a disturbing impression but on the opposite there was also some crash rating discussion. The picture of a real crashed vehicle and comparably low damage .. is a relief. At my Grenadier Dealer there was a iX 3 BMW that was definitely a write off, and on a Tesla who was shattered in pieces. Not much left of the main body. This here seems like it could be even be repaired with some effort. At least in low labour cost country. (Opinion from an amateur)

This leads to an interesting question for early adopters.

If that was your vehicle, how long would it take for a replacement vehicle to arrive, or if it wasn’t a write off and repairable, how long would you be waiting for parts??

This aligns with the “new for old” clause with insurance whereby the insurer will replace your vehicle with a new one within the first two years, on the basis of replacement within 90 days, or pay you out at your nominated value. Bit hard to replace most vehicles within 90 days at the moment, let alone a Grenadier.

Likewise parts - how long would it take to get all of the parts to repair that (assuming it was repairable)? And therefore how long would you be off the road.

I know someone who had an accident in a Haval (Chinese) and he’s been told at least a 12 month wait for parts. Fortunately he can still drive it.

I know this is a tangent to the original post, but if insurance companies start paying out policies because they can’t be replaced, your “new for old within 2 years” policy is nothing more than a market or agreed value policy in reality, so I wouldn’t be insured for the purchase price, but for the amount to replace it with a new one with the built in price rises.

Anyone stripping one yet? I’m chasing a centre dash compass or Grenadier badge in order to manufacture an aftermarket component

Look at all those spare parts!

I'm amazed, almost every single edge/line is bent/creased. Short of may be the rear ladder and wheel, not much for usable exterior parts

A good opportunity for a local Ineos club to fully dissect a Grenadier, take photos for an aftermarket enthusiasts information manual. The wreckers would likely appreciate the free labour.

Wrecking in Sydney

Australian Statutory Write Off, even if the chassis was any good the VIN cannot be reused. The wreck is only good for components.

I called in today and got a few parts I wanted.

For anyone interested, it’s a model year 2023 diesel, with a build number in the early 3000s.

They couldn’t tell me anything about the accident.

Someone was on the phone enquiring about the ladder when I was there. 🙂

Wow, that's nuts!

I had a thought last night - that vehicle would be a good one to get the centre console off, and work out where people can drill through without ruining the PCB components/traces behind it.
