Scrapping a car

I have only fully scraped out 2 cars in my life; 74 dart and a 95 neon. Lucky for me, they were rollers. So i "maximized" my profits. Both took me about a week to do (only about an hour or two a night)



I have also done many, what i like to call, scrap car flipping. I buy a car for $50-150; pay a wrecker $50 to haul it to the scrap yard; (at that time) got paid $350 from the yard. I just made $150

My suggestion for you, get some quotes on how much a flat bed truck would be to pick up and deliver to the closest yard. Take that and add $50

Easiest $50 you could make. Good luck

This is where my thoughts have been lately considering a car trailer is not an option right now. With prices so low (and tow fees so high...at least what I'm being told so far), I can't make the math work, especially after buying a vehicle (even for a token amount). I don't have the option of storing and parting out at the moment, either, though hopefully may have a break on that front soon, even though only for maybe 2 at a time at most, which is fine since I haven't been actively trying to score any cars.

I have called the junk yards in the area and all say its too far for them to pick up. These people live in the sticks. Hence me wanting to do it in one day.

Although I may just drive my little scoot-about car up there sunday afternoon with some tools and start breaking the car down and get a better idea of the situation.
