Junkyard prices
 

I should be going out to the junk yard in the next couple weeks for my GP and I was wondering what I should expect to pay for some items. the junk yard is you pull.

TB

Also where can I get paint to match the interior gray plastic

what we have found out....prices depend on how many doghnuts and cups of coffee the persone behind teh counter has had that particukar day

Depends a lot on competition in your area. Where I live, a good SII 3800 costs at least $600; there are NO u-pull-it yards, and no competition.

I get green with envy when I hear about $150 engines, and $50 trannies. Almost makes me want to move.

Anyway, to check the NON- u-pull-it junkyard prices, go to: car-part.com

Prices do vary widely.
One local yard I can pay $30 for an entire door and another is $100. This is why I usually drive 45 min to get parts. :shock:

Well, at the junkyard around here, it is u pull, and the guy is usually drunk, so I wouldn't have to pay more than 30 for any of it, if he HAD any of it.

There's only one or two U-pull yards left around here, and they don't have shit. I think they make up prices as they go. Got two identical parts from the guy, a few days apart, and he charged me twice as much for the second part. Then he has a little punk ass kid working there, who charges out the ass, even for broken shit. " Oh, those are $150 brand new, so....I'll sell it to you for $130."

The other yards are usually rediculously high too, or don't ever have anything. There's also a lack of newer cars in yards around here.

On matching the paint. There is a flexible paint line made by SEM. They are the company to go with. Excellent stuff.

It varies in different areas. We have a great hook up here with a local place. I can get stuff dirt cheap. And I don't even have to pay him the same day, I can come back later in a week or so to pay him. When we got the chrome rims and the alloy rims we just had to come back in a week or so and pay him.

OK so it mostly depends on my luck hope fully I can get it all on the cheep

Yea the main yard i go to around here varies widely. The u-pull-it actually has a price list for just about everything, but the yard i go to has notta. Today i went to get a taillight for my mom's van, easily a $30 dollar part. The guy said just take it. You never know what ur gonna get there.
