Since I posted my craigslist ad for our passenger van with cracked heads (plug: http://cnj.craigslist.org/car/738381653.html make me an offer!) I've received lots of responses from people that will tow it away at their expense for $400 and sound like they are just planning on scrapping it. It only makes sense to me if they are getting at least $600 for their troubles. I hope a vanagon person will want our van so we don't have to scrap it. Otherwise, anybody want to venture a guess how many miles I'll be able to drive to the scrapyard with a cracked head and steam blowing out the back? -Wes On Mon, Jul 7, 2008 at 5:15 PM, The Bus Depot <vanagon@busdepot.com> wrote: > > not in the last 6 months since scrap metal has skyrocketed. > > the scrapyard near me pays the highest in the area. a guy > >i met locally just scrapped out a 91 audi last week for $600. > > > It may vary by area.
