Basically, NADA and Edmunds need the year, model, condition, miles,
major options, etc. to determine a value. Not just the phrase "rust
bucket"... <g> If you can tell me the above I can tell you what I
*Think* it is worth, too. Generally a rust bucket of indeterminate age
and condition is worth about $25 to $75 as scrap, and maybe twice that
to someone looking for parts (assuming there are some still left.)
What year and model? How many miles? General condition? Options? Air?
Say it is a collector's vehicle... (might be, right?) then grab a copy
of Hemmings Motor News, look up similar vheicles in similar condition.
(You probably won't find any, but Hemmings is fun anyway.)
Again, (last time, I promise!) what is it worth to you to get the
thing out of there? Take that amount, write up a bill of sale, walk up
to the guys door: "Here's cash, in hand..." Maybe he'll surprise you.
Most junk yards will tow it away for free.
