    Only $70 a ton dang thats low way low.I would say $100-150 at most. the car would bring if it weighed 2500 lbs at your yard $87.50 plus a converter worth $75=162.50 the you get aluminum wheels and starter and such.So if i was you i after my figures i would only go $125 at most.

    I get $185.00 a ton for cars. I seperate the battery $4.00. If it has aluminum wheels I break down the tires and get $10.00 for each wheel. I throw wheel weights and lead cable ends in a bucket for later. I also take the battery cables and any easy wires or aluminum. I don't take the radiators out, I think they take too long to get out and get clean for the pay off. I haven't been taking the converters off but I am now thanks to your post Focker.
    I would give $150.00 at the most.
