    How much do you usually make off cars when you scrap them out? Do you break the engine apart or sell it as one big piece? Do you remove the plastic bits?

    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 dealers/brokers.

    Well i only bought one this week.In which i was going to use as a driver but it was way to dirty inside so i hauled it in.I had never got one of them converters off like that before it was a 1994 mercury sable.I thought well this is a low grade or something around $35-60 but i set him a picture and it is worth $101.I was like are you kidding me **** that was a bonus
