    To many variables, for instance two identical cars same year and model could have 500 lbs or more difference in weight after 10 years one could be rusted away while the other had tons of road tar, grease or mud accumulated underneath, tire wear, jack or spare tire missing.

    I agree. Tends to be the same thing as "how much is this worth?". It all depends. However, it could be an informative thread for a jumping off point.

    I still have yet to weigh a computer tower and see if the $4 I am paying is equal to or less than the 25 cents a pound my scrap yard is paying.
