My Benz died today
 

Took 'er to the scrap yard today :musicbooh.
Measly check. Steel prices are pretty down. They angled a camera hooked up to a monitor inside so I could watch it get torn apart. The claw first went and grabbed the hood and lifted. Instead of the hood tearing off, the whole car came off the ground. They turned it and shook it, then picked it up again before the hood came loose. Then they grabbed the engine. Again they lifted the whole car and had to shake and bounce it and pick it a few times until the head came off. I left after they flipped it upside down.

The TD?

What Benz? How many miles? What was wrong?

How much did you get for it? I once recycled an '82 Dodge sedan and the wrecker gave me $85 for it I think.

You know, I would absolutely NOT want to see any vehicle I have ever owned, torn apart at the scrapper... :(

I would have give you double.

Yeah, the TD.
B2 piston failure and shattered rear glass. I hated not being able to part it out.

I got $182 for it.

I wanted to see just how tough it was. Ans: Pretty damn tough. We won't be seeing any cars made that tough again.

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cruel I tell ya, just cruel.

I think I miss it as much as my dog, who died a few years ago.

Dammit man, that SLS pump alone was worth the price you got for it.

Perhaps it will be reincarnated.....

Why the hell couldn't you part it out?

I got a bit over $200 for my barely running 1995 Jetta. I'd be lieing if I said I didn't enjoy watching it die, my only regret is I couldn't kill it myself.:cool::D

That abortion of a car should have been shot when it left the factory.

No place to store it while gutting it.
