Im pretty sure its got aluminum rims at $8 a piece core value, cat around $50 and brake rotors around 2-5$ each. Battery $10 plus other parts. If it blows i also like making trailers out of the beds and got scrap lying around to make at least two more of em. And as for negotiating price they might drop maybe $50 but they generally charge for what they can get out of it not what they paid. They'd charge $900 to an outside party. But i dont know maybe i do have more room to negotiate with them since not only do i work there i also make as much or more after work collecting metals i bring to them. So i guess if the trucks running not only will it make me money but them as well.
    Evidently you have thought things out. Sorry if my ideas offended you. Good luck and I will honor my promise to tone it down.
