So at just over 2 tons it would only pay $310 and there was no cat on this vehicle I know that for sure so how can this Guy be making money? He is one of the bigger scrappers in my area I thought about getting into cars myself but how can I compete with that?
We buy and process about 6 blazers a year, i wont hesitate to pay $800 for one that has a good front clip and good tires. Ones beat up real bad i am paying $500 for. Id drop $1500 on a zr2 blazer in a heartbeat, they are hard to find and most of the parts are unique.
