    I haven't had to buy any vehicles yet. If I had the opportunity, I would only pay 50% of curb weight, with free removal. I think larger vehicles like vans etc would be well worth it. The more a vehicle weighs makes your offer look more legit. In my experience people generally want a minimum of a couple hundred dollars for just about any vehicle. If its beefy enough you may be able to make a deal.



    By paying 50% of curb, you should be able to cover your costs, pick up and delivery time. All the extra pulled parts would be the unknown factors. You might make an extra 20$ or an extra few hundred.

    Good luck
