Cash for Clunkers, what a Joke

[yukonjacks]

Went to the local pick-a-part salvage yard looking to score on some parts off Yukes and Hoes, to my surprise no cash for clunkers, but they did have a boat load of mini vans and ford explorers alot of them pretty friggen new. The newest GM was a smashed 97 burb that looks like it had a lot of senority there. I'll be in search again this weekend, figure take advantage of picking up nsome spare parts while the gettings good

I think those cars are crushed, not put in junk yards.

according to the website they are supposed to be scrapped and you are supposed to get the scrap value in addition to the 3500-4500

lol the whole point of the program is to get the gas-inefficient "clunkers" off of the road.

if your looking for a cash 4 clunkers, look for the low and fat stack of cars.

As I understand from a dealship parts guy, the engine and transmission are the only items that cannot be reused. Sheet metal and interiors are reusable. Engines are drained of oil, a sand slurry is poured into the crankcase and the engine is started and allowed to run until it seizes. Game over....

Your exactly right Harry, Engine and drivetrain are not permitted to be resold. I know there were alot of mini vans and explorers with the letters C-F-C spray painted on them.
