Got a call from a wrecker that just received a C4C van. I gotta call em back to make a pitch. My thoughts were to offer a flat price to strip the thing of what I want, minus what they tell me not to take. They seemed pretty cool and reasonable, this is not a u-pull place but I imagine they might let me have my way with the van.
1) What would you offer to strips some seats, dash, inst. cluster, and other odds and ends?
2) What pieces would you grap just in case from an 86+ passenger van? (ecu, muffler brackets, ????)
There are no vans in my neck of the woods in any local wreckers so I see this as a rescue and a chance to bone up on parts.
FYI
I did call the dealership and spoke with the sales manager (on the advice of some listees and buddys that work at a dealership), he was cool, sympathetic and said he'd check with is higher up. He actually called back and said they felt they couldn't let anyone remove parts but he did tell me what wrecker it was going to. After reading the c4C literature I think that their interpretation is correct, only the dismantler/wrecker/recycler may strip parts before crushing vehicle within 180 days. They do run the engine with the magic stuff to disable it and it and the drivetrain must goto the crusher.
