    Ide pay 100 bucks for the car without a motor. Its still got to be more than 2000 pounds. Right now at my yard ide get $260 per ton for an incomplete car.

    Just make sure they aren't keeping the wheels and tires too!

    Im not sure I would want to tow a car with a dolly when engine is removed. To much could come loose and hit cars behind you.

    sry dude but here it comes: !. it is obvious you are new. 2. it is obvious you havent read much on the forum, there are hundreds of pages on scrapping cars, how to do it and what they are worth 3. there are 2 items on that particular car that are worth near $200 each, but Im not going to do all the work for you unless you want to cut me in so get busy with the search button. option donate half the money to the forum and ill tell you. not trying to insult you or embarras you just simple respect to the forun and all the blood (litteraly) sweat and tears, contributed by the rest of us

    Cheese and Rice? Cheese and Rice???

    Um, anyway. $125 for the deal is doable DEPENDING on what the "few other things" being pulled are. If they take all the good stuff you may just end up breaking even. If you're lucky. Investigate it, be sure. And SEARCH THIS FORUM!
