I don't go out looking for cars. If I am contacted about a car I tell them $50, if they like the price then great, if not I will give them a name for one of my guys I deal with and let them settle up. Usually they will take the $50. I don't get many cars, but usually all the cars I get are from old farms, them farmers love to stick things in their hedge rows.



As a side note, I don't do this as my full time job, so I have the luxury to pick and choose my jobs. I don't contact people for their scrap, I let them contact me. I rarely use Craigslist, I do have an ad in the Labor section, but most of my work comes from word of mouth. I will give a price and if the client doesn't like it they can go somewhere else. But most of the people that contact me don't give me much of a problem and I can fill my trailer about 2 times a month. It gives me an extra $250 - $300 a month.
