    All Terrain Vehicle

    ATV's...
    Does your yard take these? Anyone scrapped one before? I have one that is 12 years old that basically got totaled rolling down a 500 foot canyon.. Not worth it to repair so i'm trying to decide whats the best thing to do with it.

    Thanks

    Yards that take cars will take them. I would remove the batt and alum rims before I scraped it

    take of any useable parts and sell them on ebay. trust me, youd make more cash that way then scrapping the whole thing. if you need any help with parts id gladly help

    is the engine still ok? diff? electrics? ignition, all worth major coin! I part sleds, bikes and atv's out, she is maybe worth $40 of scrap, but the parts could make you $500

    you might be surprised...

    before i found out about scrapping i made a shi t ton of money parting out sleds, atvs, dirtbikes ect. youd be surprised what will sell. i bought an old arctic cat sled with a blown motor and broken suspension for $10, and sold the belt for $12 and i ended up making over $200 on it even though it was beat to hell and i only sold about 1/4th of the parts

    Good ideas, Thanks guys. The rider was a 13 year old girl that hopped off before it rolled to far. She is was bruised a little but okay. I think I will try to sell for parts and scrap it as a last resort.

    Thanks again.
