Interesting. Two years ago scrap iron yards were only paying $110CDN/ton here in Toronto. It has gone down since.

Port cities apparently pay significantly more, since a yard near the docks can cube the vehicle and send it directly to a ship. The next time you see it will be at Walmart, and probably NOT in the parking lot.
