IMPOUND LOT? Options

[chacha]

Do you guys think it is a good idea to go to the impound lot and if there is a 6gc celica there...buy it? I want to go search for the GT4 engines if there are any at the impound lot...although i know i have no chance of finding a 6gc celica that has a GT4 engine...just want to go digging for parts like junk yard! I know this is a lame topic, but just like to ask...

I don't see why you even ask. Of course it's a good idea to go to an impound lot. Even if you don't find a Celica, there has to be so many treasures there. That would be heaven. I love junk yards, especially good ones.

I went to the impound or car wrecking yard and I was juss there with a buddy who was looking for a new fan blade for his supra. And as we are walking around we see nothing but garbage cars that have been completly stripped. Then we get to the back of the yard and I start drooln. It was a black 93 celica all-trac. motor was in perfect condition and the interior was pretty much too accept I think the airbag was deployed. The reason the car was there was because someone rear ended it and the frame got a little bent. But it wasn't bad at all. The owner of the car lot didn't know what he had or how much he could sell it for.I asked him how much he wanted for the entire car and he said $1200 , I was bout to buy it but then he told me that his son wanted the car and his son was gonna give him the amount. Point of the story is if u have time on ure hands then why not, who knows what you will find.

impound lots are good. My gf and her family bought their last 2 cars there. They had a 94 Corolla untill last year and now they have a 98 civic EX. They bought the EX at the lot for $4000 with 110xxxkm, subwoofer, 1000watt amp, kicker comp speakers all around, car is clean as can be. My friend bought a bike from the same place. He bought a GSX-R from a impound lot for $3000 brand new. Had 40KM on it. The guy bought it, didnt pay his bills, and also was caught without a motorcycle lisence. It was impounded, sat at the impound lot for 3 months. My friend picked it up.

You can tell if you can find treasures by the conditions of the car. If its all oldies than don't even bother nothing EFI there. Down here in AR most cars are all carb based so its really pointless to go to a junk yard and even impound lots sell there cars for super expensive rates. A 88 Civic with everything bad went for $1.1K and some idiot bought it.

Hey, sometimes I just call the place to see what they have. Every place I know of keep the records on a computor and can search for anything you need without the waste of time walking around.

But it's still fun to walk around in one somedays.
