Why does Ford resell lemons?

not necessarily scrap, but send them off to auction so it ends up at an independent lot instead of a franchised lot. I have yet to see any other manufacture retail buy back units next to their new cars.

Curious if it’s policy for other manufactures and Ford doesn’t follow it or what the deal is.
Back in 2000 I bough five 2000 Honda Insights at auction that were lemon law buyback cars with 2,000 to 6,000 miles on them. Either they were fixed or had nothing wrong with them and the owners just couldn't understand or like the new technology (think auto start and stop like so many people here complain about) so Honda must have agreed to buy them back. I found nothing wrong with them and they sold quickly and for good money.
