Pick and Pull Question

[Mike_D]

Hi,

I need a stereo headunit for my other car (Camaro) and I'm wondering if I should take a trip to the pick and pull to find one. Do they generally leave factory stereos in the cars or do they pull them? They're like $400+ from a dealer, and ~$120 on fleabay.

Thanks,

Mike

the local P&P leaves everything....my brother-n-law regularly pulls old beckers and blaupunkt's from MB's and gets big bucks for them on ebay...i've pulled a few hi end systems..

when i lived in LA, the sun valley P&P left the stero units installed as well

Around here, they leave everything in/on the car except the catalytic convertor. They punch holes in the gas tank, oil pan and tranny pan (if automatic), cut rad hoses + PS hoses to drain the fluids.

If you hope to find something like that, you'll probably have to be there within a day or two after they set the car out. I've spoken to lots of people at the yards who pretty much make a living buying parts and reselling on Ebay and the like.

soon enough, it'll have whatever was left on it when it got to the salvage pool - stuff that's know to sell fast disappears very, very quickly (often within an hours of the car being set out in the yard).

Thanks for the information guys.
