[QUOTE="donna723, post: 294543, member: 1883"] Is there anything that says they HAVE to scrap the old cars that are traded in or could some of them be reselling them on a used car lot somewhere? There is A LOT of money in scrap metal and a lot of those big older cars weigh a lot! Once in a while my mechanically-minded son and some of his friends will go to the auto auctions and buy big old junker cars that nobody wants for a few hundred dollars, some even less. They strip off any good parts and everything else that is decent (ask me how I got the CD player in my car!) and resell or reuse it, then take what's left and sell it for scrap metal. They always make way more off of it as scrap metal than what they paid for it. [/QUOTE]
