Junk cars is what I do, and here is how I do it
Scale right now at my guy is $130.00 a ton or .065 a pound = $175.00
You don't have to drain anything or do anything to it. He does not care what you pull from it
As already mentioned, Pull the cat and sell that separate
I drain the antifreeze and pull the radiator and AC condenser and sell separate >> Both Aluminum
Sometimes they have Aluminum rims/wheels >> Pull and sell separate
I pull the Battery and sell that separate
Pull alternator and sell that separate
Follow the wire run and pull /cut out as much as you can. My place takes with all connections, plugs and looms
Not worth doing if you are only going to be doing one car
BUT adds up when you bring in 2 >> 55 gallon drums filled with alternators, 3 filled with the wire, 20 batteries , and 20 aluminum Radiators and ac condensers
30 - 50 aluminum wheels
