i'm not sure what you mean by taking off loose parts before giving to junk yard... if you wanted to take the time to part them out, you might get more than a couple hundred for each car by selling off all your spare parts, and good parts, like headlights, taillights, etc... but is it worth the time for several hundred dollars, that's the issue..
i tried it both ways... i had 3 9000s, a '90, a '92, and a '93... i stripped almost all the useful parts out of the '92, sold the seized tranny along with the head/valves, kept a bunch of parts for the '93, and sold a bunch through the saabnet classifieds and, those that didn't sell, on ebay. i made a little money and saved money on parts... then i gave the car, minus wheels, to a scrap yard who came and hauled the beautiful body/frame away... very sad, but the parts live on.
my '90 i gave, running, in need of a slave cylinder and new brake lines, minus a few items I took like the DI Cassette and roof rack, to a local junk yard for free where i used to rummage around for free parts at. that was easy. hopefully they sold a bunch of the parts, including a perfectly good 5 spd tranny, and a bunch of new england saabers are happy.
easy is nice... maybe post an ad on the classifieds for free parts, give people a month to come and take whatever they want for free, and then give the rest of the car to the junk yard for $200, let them haul it away.
