    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
    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.
