How much will a scrap yard pay for car parts?

I'm thinking about buying a 92 f150 ex. cab 4x2 5.0 ltr truck for about $400 i want to drive it until it gives me a problem then sell it to one of those places that will buy a scrap car.





How much will one of those places give me?


Or is it better to take parts off like the cat converter and stuff and sell them to a metal yard?





Whats going to make me more money back, and potentially profit?!?|||I think you would be best to scrap it yourself. That is a good price for any kind of car, even a complete junker. and if you finally decide to get rid of it, a junk yard will buy it in any state for over $200. You would want to take certain parts out to sell separate before hand, however. For example, the catalytic converter could be worth anything from $5 to $180. Pull the radio out to sell on Ebay. Before you sell it to a scrap yard, try putting it up on craigslist as a parts only car, and say that anyone can have any part off of it for $25 or something. Scrap metal is a great way to make money|||i sold a 93 s 10 blazer to local junk yard not running last year for $300 and they came and towed it away.
