    When buying cars, you REALLY need to know what you're doing. This is a guide I got a few years ago and describes the different categories:


    CARS - Gas tanks must be removed. ALL FLUIDS MUST BE DRAINED. Cars with tires will get paid less.

    COMPLETE CARS - Any car that can be driven to the yard must have converter, radiator, battery and all working parts attached.

    INCOMPLETE CARS - Cars with gas tanks or fluids not drained or missing working parts.

    Pricing is by the pound, by the type (Complete or Incomplete) and usually two or two a half cents a pound difference. That could add up quick for a car that weighs 3000 pounds. But it might be worth it for the right catalytic converter. Then you'd want to pull the battery, radiator and other "core" stuff.

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
