Sacrilege! E30 Doomed!
« on: July 29, 2008, 04:02:37 PM »
OK GET THIS!

Me and my friend Marko went to a junkyard to find a part for the company Ford Taurass, and look what we found:

(read on after the pics)





















OKAY, i asked a worker nearby what the deal was, he said some person just dropped that E30 off here just recently because it had a blown head gasket.  Right away, i wanted that car (naturally).  A head gasket is not hard to fix!  So i went to talk to the lady that was (apparently) in charge, and she said:
"oh, you can't buy that car as a whole, we are going to part it out."
i said: "why can't i buy the whole car?"
"oh, it has body damage, someone had used Bondo on it."

OK, where do you guys see any of that?  anyway, this was a few days ago.  I called back there today, the same b**** answered, and before i even said my name, and that i even wanted to buy the car, she insisted that she was not selling it, but parting it out instead.  My friend Marko just called, and asked for the boss there.  The lady would not take down his number, but insisted on what the call was about.  When MArko finally told her it was about the E30, she insisted once again that it was an irreparable car and therefore would not be sold.

If you are going to part out a car, why would you net even listen to an offer to buy the whole thing?  she never even let any of us offer!  What is the deal?  What's more, here's something else we saw there:


This car was about to be crushed, and looked in perfect condition!!!  we asked a worker what the deal was, he said simply that the car was not a big parts car.  What if they decide that for the E30???  they sure won't sell it!!

So here is the deal:

This is located in Abingdon, MD.  The number for this place is (410)-272-8222.  They are called Norman's Auto Parts.  I know there are ppl out there that want this car, i do, but i have been turned down twice, without even making an offer!!  My friend Marko was turned down, what the hell???

SOMEONE SAVE THIS CAR!!!!!!

I doubt it can be saved. I don't know the laws or procedures but once a car ends up there, the title is destroyed to prevent fraud. Best you could do is get some parts off it.  :(

I'm guessing most of the time when a yard won't sell the whole car... there's one of two reasons, or both.

1.  They know they will make more money parting the car than selling as a whole.
2.  The car came to them without a title and therefore cannot be sold (at least here in TX)

some vehicle junk yards are VERY and EXTREMELY WASTEFUL...  

I just don't understand why any would crush a complete vehicle, rather than RECYCLING all useable parts from it - especially when some of those parts ARE interchangable among same product lines...

There's a scrap yard near me that they don't care about interior stuff, as they don't make any money on it, so you can get good deals on interior plastics, seats, small items, etc...  they'll crush a vehicle w/ complete interior and no looking back that they could have made $$$ off the parts if they had only taken the time to remove & categorize them...
