I need to dispose of the bronco. Tons of good parts still on it and it is somewhat of a collectors piece for some, I am sure someone would want the fenders and such.

Who buys junk cars for good money? I am looking for around $750 for it, a place in rochester told me i would get around 600 if it was out here.

Never hear of a place setting a price by what parts are there, Usually junk cars go by weight and youd be lucky to get 175

williams doesnt pay very well, and scrap value is down as well. check with german psi, he just brough a bunch of junk to a recycler, he might be able to point you in the right direction

no business is going to buy it for more than about $25.

If you want money for it try selling it the normal way like want ad or craigslist.

lol, this is not getting anywhere.

Its on craigslist, someone is looking at it sometime in the next couple weeks…

but… I don’t understand why in rochester I get flyers in the mail about “cash for your junk cars” but in the capital district I apparently wont get more than 25 bucks. :lol

When I was getting rid of my parts Maxima (had a good motor, body parts, but bad tranny and striped interior) no one would give me more than $50. I gave it to my co-worker who is a fire chief as well in our small town and he ended up blowing it up and having his guys practice puttin out car fires on it. Gave me a $500 tax write off…which amounts to like $40 of my income tax…lol.

If it’s junk…well…it’s junk.
