It is well known that the cost of buying the many individual parts that make up a car is far more than the cost of purchasing a fully functioning car. This is made much worse if those parts are in short supply. In some cases, more money might be made from disassembling the car and selling its components individually rather than selling it as a functioning whole. In the aviation world, something similar is happening. On the second-hand market, an aircraft can fetch a higher price if it is disassembled and sold for parts.
