I will haul cars with titles only. In Arizona it is impossible to leglly dispose of a car without paperwork. No legit yard will take them. They will however take a car that has been cut up without paperwork. It would be real easy to steal a car and torch it all up and get rid of it that way. The laws are weird here. Also here unless you have a muffler shop business to prove where you got the cat converter thanks to all the scams you cannot simply pull them for sale to a scrap yard. They refuse to buy them. I never pay for cars I haul. It costs me to haul them away for people. I part out the car. I pull the starter and alternator. If I can easily pull cast aluminum off the engine I will. The rest of the car goes to the scrap yard. Not worth the cost of a torch to cut it up. Scrap yards just drop it in a shredder complete. They cannot make anything on it either if they spend labor and expendables to cut it up.

If I could get a car dropped off to my place for that money wouldn't it be a no-brainer?



Just drain the fluids, pull out the interior, engine, trans. Save any re-sellable parts and cut up the rest, separate it and throw it all in my van and scrap it.

Any reasons not to go through with it?

One car is a 2004 Civic, the other a 2001 Jetta.

Shred is $40/Mt Aluminum $0.40/lb and the scrap yard is 13km away from my shop.
