Re: Lock up your cats!
Scrap is so high, any metal left lying around here is subject to growing legs. Last summer I bought and scrapped a few cars that I wanted the engines from, and learned how salvage yards operate these days.
Car I stripped, just a body basically on a frame, no suspension, interior, drivetrain, rearend, weighed 2400 lbs. =$160.00
Junk batteries I had laying around=$5.00 a piece
Stack of old radiators, (5) minus the steel brackets=$30.00
A small 1/2 truck load of aluminum scrap, clean, no steel or rubber attached=$71.00
Bent aluminum wheels I had accumulated=$8.00 each
A few large cats I pulled out of the dumpster at work (before the midnight auto crew got them) $40-60 a piece.
The yards take the old gas, coolant, etc and recycle it or use it themselves, and if they're paying this much, how much are they getting for it when they turn it around and sell it.
