    unbelievable part 2

    you guys are going to start thinking im full of crap thats why i put the pics up, i got this for $300 tdoay with title, no idea whats wrong with it, ill put the charger on it tomorrow or at least on sunday, we sold our 442 today the pawn shop said he paid 250 down on it and we still get another 550 pawn shop got whatever is over 800 they sold it for, or if they don't pay it off in two months we get tosell it again and keep the 250. we also sold the siloutte mini van today 600 which is probably less than we coulda scrapped it for but we needed the quick flip as KZ would say plus we done really well on it. i know we are the most professional scrapper or recycler in our area without a doubt, but even tho i am grateful there is no way we should be getting these cars, my buddy at the pawn shop said he isnt even suprised anymore when i pull up with a new one on the trailer



    anyway in the background is the astro van that kicked my butt and the cougar, down at the bottom of the hill is the cirrus

    Great find. I assume you can part it out but not sell it as a working car since you don't have the tittle? Oh and you may in fact be full of krap but this one could make you guys some good money. Congrats Mike.

    miked i do have the title, and yes you have to BS alittle bit to buy a car over the phone without ever seeing it so i may be full of crap on that level what kills me is i offered 250 today for a 80s model chrysler lebaron and the dude hung up on me, he will probably call back after he calls the competition they usually do

    DUDE for $300 if you cant get it running and sell it for running you best part that sucker out. If you take the time to part it out your looking 5 G's easy worth of parts. Then will still have at least $200 in scrap value in carcass. Those beemers are really heavly used in car club racing and the like so take your time with this one if you can.

    I'm waiting for you to pick up a Mercedes SL! Looks like you have fire extinguishers everywhere.

    yep i can hold on to it, we got plenty of stuff to scrap b4 we get to the bmw. gonna scrap the astrovan and cougar on monday is my plan, but phone calls can change plans in a hurry. i did look under the car it looked like 4 cats i could see but i may be wrong there also may be 2 on the manifold but thats just a guess. and yep i got lots and lots of fire extinguishers

    mercedes i never thought when we started this we would get anything of any value, we stick to our rules when we buy no matter what. always buy over the phone based on curb weight set a price that way our emotions won't take over when we get there. let them know what they will be docked for batteries for us. we are going to start docking 15 or 20 off when they dont have keys it took about 20minutes to bust the ignition on the cougar.

    okay charged the battery, guage actually showed empty so we put 2 gallons of premium in her and hte guage moved up a little, sprayed some carb cleaner in the intake and turned the key...................sounded like it may have tried to start a couple of times but no luck. its got a viper security system on it and some kind of tracking device(we do havea title) also i have no idea if that could have anything to do with it, mdg told me to get a diagnostics machine (and we are going to)but as you know we bought a butload of cars and seem to be keeping our money tied up. we arent going to spend alot on this but we may take it to a mechanic to get an estimate and theory. i was so hoping it would work out like the jaguar
