I won't pretend to know anything about the salvage yard business but I often wonder why they do this? I've been to several where they have told me "Nope we send VW's right to the crusher" - one woman even said "We crush those right away. We want to keep american workers employed" ???? Anyhow, it just doesn't make sense to me - sure depending ont he area they probably don't get a ton of people looking for VW Vanagon/Bus stuff - but it seems to me if you have room in the yard why not keep them. Money is money. -- Thanks, Jeff '90 Carat (Grover) '86 (We call this one Parts) '78 Bus (Melissa) Patty's Bus |
