    Is he a junk yard guy? Normally, they are the only ones that will pay scrap yard prices or better for cars. Just curious.



    Depending on how big it is, $150 is about right. I know the prices here will range from $150 to $300 depending on what the price is for the day.

    My friend has been in the business for many years, long before I born. But he goes around and buys junk cars form people, strips them down for parts and scraps the rest. I have helped in his yard a few times stripping cars, its pretty fun.

    Well, I run this from my home, so I have just always removed the tires, and battery, and drained the fuel tank.

    So my question is, if you don't mind, what do you generally strip out from the cars to make it worth your time, and what do you do with the stuff that has been stripped?
