Today after work, I stopped by one of the local salvage yards to see if they had a window roll up for Laura's van. I was told that now they have a new yard with Cash for clunkers vehicles in it and they should have plenty. I went in and saw at least 200+ vehicles and to be honest, it looked like a pretty nice car lot. In fact, there were a lot of cars and trucks that I would be proud to own. There was an 02 Burgundy Escalade in very nice shape, a two door Seville with a Northstar engine, several Blazer SUV's that looked almost new and on and on and on. It was absolutely unbelievable that many of these vehicles were not worth more than $4,500 for a straight trade-in or private sell.
They are now selling parts off them, but no engine parts. But, with "disabled" written across the windshield, the engines are worthless, since they have been seized up.
I know several people that are in great need of a decent vehicle and it is truly a shame at what has happened to these vehicles. Yeah, there are some that are truly clunkers, but many were really nice.
