Day 1 of 2014... Car #1 of the year!

I hauled in my sisters 00 dodge caravan for her.

Scored a 2000 Hyundai Accent that died because the serpentine belt went and the battery died.. they didn't want to put any more money into it and it had just had an inspection done.. so I sent that one to my buddies shop for and evaluation / fix / communter. Then Got a 1996 Honda Accord.. its currently waiting to get stripped and smooched by the crusher tomorrow..

JohnC - how much did you want for those rims & tires? =P I'm sure you saved them or they are already sold. I was also curious what are you getting per ton their for incomplete vehicles? It seems you're offering people a decent amount for their cars, I wonder if its profitable for me to start running a truck load down that way instead of sending them all into the local shredder.



EDIT // Sweet truck! Thats sort of my goal this year - something big and powerful I can mutli-task with ^_^

Most of the Caravan's have the Cat's that are hard to get
I have found easiest way is to reach in with the blue wrench between the engine and firewall and snip the 4 bolts

We were busy yesterday so I still have all rims seen in the photos.
If you are talking about the Lex with the low profile tires >> They are trash, Rims and tires

Currently getting $200.00 per 2000# ton
Or 10 Cents a pound
$200 always makes the math easy!

Yup! They are hard to get - I find the easiest way (didn't figure this out until recently) is to make one cut after the last 02 sensor - wrap a chain a couple times around before the 02 bung and hook it up to the 4x4 give it a couple tugs and they come out. I was letting them go until the yard owner was giving me ish about not grabbing pre-cats - he said he just snaps em off with the loader forks and then the gears started spinning.. Its not easy on the truck/equipment to get them - but they add up quickly

$200 is what I'm getting juts about - weird I guess I never realized how well the guy up here takes care of us!
