skishop69 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I've never paid more than $300 for one (non-running/mechanical issues) and I've parted several over the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 scrap yards are paying 300-500 here now and they come pick the car up, they need a title, then they crush it and sell it for the metals. guess China needs all the metals they can get and so does Japan.

idosubaru Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 there's only a few parts that you'll almost definitely be able to sell immediately. 5 lug parts ($150-$300), dash trim ($50), steering column surround ($50) , and radiator ($75) if it's good. i've owned like 20 XT6's and parted a bunch, they're not really worth parting out IMO. subaruxt.com is an XT6 dedicated site, you'll see me over there. everything else will just depend on current needs of the very, very small XT6 community. not sure where $300-$500 scrap comes from, you might want to find out where he's talking about becausethat's not what i've seen locally or with a quick search of iowa scrap prices which look similar to here. $7/100 gives you $100-$200 depending how much you're removing weight wise. i tend to get a little over $100 for a scrap car - usually they have an engine/trans or both removed. $185 per ton for a shell will net you $150 or so. you can make a few hundred but it takes foooorever by the time you remove parts, answering tons of questions, emails, posting, advertising, sending pictures, then more pictures, getting shipping quotes...only for 9 out of 10 people to not buy.....ends up being a lot of work. so comes down to what you're time is worth, but frankly if you can part a car you have the skills to make a lot more money than parting an XT6 out.
