    vehicle recycling

    This is a new area for me. I've only scrapped 1 car before and that was my own. It was a 2001 ford expedition. pulled the tires that were almost brand new and sold them. Also pulled the aluminum rims, battery, a bunch of wire and maybe the alternator (can't remember on that one). Got one cat and one pre-cat. Stupid me couldn't get the cats on the other side cut after I put it on the trailer. Never thought to turn the wheel. STUPID!

    So last night, I saw on a facebook tag sale site, someone selling a 2002 Subaru outback for $250. It has a bad frame on it, so parts and scrap only. I checked the curb weight and bringing it in as is, I can make my money back. Called my cat guy and got prices from him. Tires are brand new, so those will get sold. Has aluminum rims, so that is a plus. I pull the battery, altenator and probably the starter. Not sure what else. He did say there were a lot of new parts, so we will see on that. Should be able to at least double my money.

    Now I just need to find more time.
