Hey johnC, if you dont already, make sure you save the body control modules off those caravans/town and country's. They are worth a nice little bit on Ebay. The transmissions are usually worth...

Hey what the heck, gas is near $2 gallon now. Psshhhh aerodynamics are for the hippies :))

Well you didn't mention what your average driving speed is. So I'll guess 11.8 MPG.

Also there may be 40lbs of INSULATED copper but even in the summer time when prices where good you would be lucky to get around $1lb.

Here is a prime example of "More Than Scrap Value". The U.S. government at its finest!

Gas or diesel? Either way its going to weigh more than 5800 though. How far do you have to tow it? If the wheels turn freely and tires hold air you could flat tow it with a tow bar. Also have you...

The second phase in the last video kind of look like a tire changer with a modified head/turntable.

Thanks I will have to keep that in mind! Around me though there aren't to many Windstars for scrap, a lot more of the the GM mini vans lately (venture, sihouette, montana style), so I have picked up...

Must have missed that, was about to go hunting me some Windstar's!

Is the auction you go to open to the public? Or do you have a dealers license? I managed to find one up around me that anyone can go to but its 105 miles away. Most around here are only open to...

Wow! What the heck man don't you have any competition around there???

Do you know how much the cart weighs? They have to zero the scale while the empty cart is on it so they are not paying you for the weight of the cart along with your scrap. I know the yard that I go...

Thats a shame that it got crushed but it doesn't sound like you had much in the way of options. If I had a nickel for every time someone on Craigslist told me they wanted an item and actually...

Throw it on Craigslist for more than scrap value! If the outer insulation isn't to beat up someone could most likely use it for a garage or pole barn.

Hopefully someone came through for the transmission out of it?

Assuming the melt ban was lifted and you could legally scrap these in todays market, what grade would these be, considering they are 5% Zinc? #2 copper?

Shred is at $230. Has been within $15 + or - of that price for the better part of a year.

The yard I go to pays $100 more for short steel over regular shred price, which right now is around $230 GT. But what is a good price for you is not necessarily a good price for someone else in a...

What I would do (and actually just did on a car) is jack up the front as high as possible and secure it real well on jacks stands/blocks, then remove any bracing that might be in the way underneath,...

If its not terribly rusted it is definitely worth more than scrap value. What size is it? Around here you could expect around $15-$18 for a 20' 3/8" chain. But not knowing what size the chain is,...

I am registered, but I can only find a page where you input the year/make/model and it gives you what parts off that particular vehicle they are buying, mostly just starters,...

I know this is kind of an old post but could use some info, JohnC where on ras's website did you get this page where you can search a specific part type/ID?

Funny you guys bring this up, Omnisource just bought out a small time yard about 15 miles from me and say they will be opening up any time now. I have also been hearing a number of there ads on the...

I always though that would be a fun gig to try out. Do you use your own truck/trailer for towing the repos?
