It is a business and that is what businesses do. I can speak first hand from years of experience dismantling cars for a large west coast salvage facility. I know what we paid for cars and what we made. (I've saved 9 Saabs from the crusher every one of them for $200 or less). The entire business exists for nothing more than money and to rid the more civilized of eyesore scrap metal at $4.00/ton. We paid between $nill and $500.00 for a 900 and always made upwards of $1500.00 from any car within the 500 acre property. No car sits there for more than 3 weeks and there are dozen more of the same model waiting to be drained of fluid so they can replace it's location in the yard. There are wonderful things that happen with a lot of that money though. Cars for Charity.....Cars for Kids Sake...etc... money that goes to feed children....money that builds homes....re-processed oil that heats schools....tires that pave our highways....etc. Just have to look on the bright side of things. Those parts all come back to those of us on the board in one form or another.
