    The only way I would pay $500-$600 for a car is if I could turn it for profit and Down here you make no money for scrapping it. Two weeks Ago I took in a 1992 Ford F-350 Crew Cab Dually the weight was 5980 Lbs I got $538.20. The cat was gone when i got it. The Rad was Aluminum I left it on. As a matter of fact I drove it off the trailer in the yard and had them weigh it. It had a 460 with Automatic I tried selling complete on Craigslist for $800 no takers I figured It was a Gas Hog is why no one wanted it. Like I said there is no way I will pay that much for a car or truck unless i know for a fact i can Flip it. Now there is people out here that will pay that much to use as Scrap But here is a little secret They wont last that long in the Business I figure I can wait them out.

    Yeah well you cant because you are only getting .09 cents per pound which is nothing lol only $180 per ton.

    If i would have had that i would have and could have gave $500 for it and scrapped it for $762.45.So you can give good money for them just depends on what it is and what you get per ton.
