Scrap is going for $280 prepared. Mixed is $250. Whole old car, tanks and tire included are $270???? I four weeks ago hauled a couple old cars in and they are draining the fluids and recycling them. The guy there said they got a tax credit for each car. I laughed they wanted the titles for the cars. One was not problem 1990 Olds 98 the other was different. 1948 Packard that had been in a neighbors fence row for the last fifty years. I don"t remember it ever being driven. They finally took it. I wish they asked those type of questions on farm equipment the get.
Dumbest thing I saw was a IH 450 Diesel there. Looked like it was dissent tractor just missing the cylinder head. Scrap guy said a Younger kid brought it in. Said his dad had been overhauling it and died. The kid wanted the garage to park his motorcycle in so he had brought the tractor in for scrap. Now the REAL dumb part it had NEW 15.5 38 rear tires, still had the rubber tabs on them. Scrap yard worker had taken a chop saw and cut them off the rims so they could sell the rims for scrap steel. I told the owner that they had cut up a $1000 worth of tires for twenty dollars of scrap steel. He did not believe me. I call the tire shop and had them give me tire prices over my cell phone, which I put on speaker phone. The yard owner turned kinda green. Told him if he gets any farm equipment I would be glad to look it over for him to tell him what it is worth. Weather to scrap it or sell it as equipment. He has called me twice and I have gone and looked. He has sold several loads to the local salvage tractor yard. Made myself a few hundred cash from the yard owner.
