Junkyard Find Question

[85crownHPP]

thats exactly what this guy was doing... he asked me how much i thought my findings were worth and i said i got 200 to work with.. got them for 214.. the 14 being from sales tax obviously. real shady place.. doubt id go back if it werent for being the only 2 ive ever seen in a yard

You should have told him $75... you might have gotten it all for that.

definitely not.. he was pissed about 200.. he rattled off that the front corner lights i had.. 3 of them and a tail light, were all like 35 each, then the speedo was like 50.. and a shitload o f chrome trim... he never wouldve taken that.. LOL

Also this

Thing is, its not too often you find them cars in the yard. So, I dont think you got raped, you just paid market price based on newer cars.

Fancy junkyards with newer cars charge those kinda prices - 50 for the speedo, 50 for the tail light, add the rest up to 100... and some not so fancy yards that think they are charge those kinda prices too. I guess it does really depend on the area and how much competition there is.

The yard I usually go to a complete engine assemblies intake to oil pan is $99....

Granted theres rarely a box in it.
