and a catalytic converter (if it's a big one).

Would a neon have a big CC?

I only deal with high end junk yards.

I've took 'em in with tennis ball-size holes through the core.

Never had the opportunity...possibly, but, prolly not.

I got someone to pay $300.00 for my wrecked car and tow it off in addition. It was a 98 Toyota Rav. I'm sure the guy was able to at least double his $300 investment by parting it out. :(

Parting out cars is VERY profitable. Don't let them fool you.

$200 = Christmas $$$$ :)

When was that? The price of scrap has plummeted since the recession has lowered the demand from China.

No brass, best case aluminum, worst case plastic.

I wonder if parting out cats is profitable?

No, they only sell well as ground whole... except at the Peking Moon.;)

know the thread is kinda old but the transmission i bought last week to put in my truck cost $350, and that was an '02 transmission for an '01 model truck (interchangeable up to an '05 or '06 model i believe)....and that was the cheapest i found it....found them as high as $550 at the yards around town. then last summer while replacing my AC the high pressure line blew out. found one for $35 i think it was? and a new one from o'reilly was $163.99. yeah parting out a trashed car makes sense. may take some time but part out what you can then take the rest to the recyclers. 8 cents a pound for scrap steel.
