Keep after them. Once they get a taste of our cash money they will be sellers for sure! Twisted Evil

Why do people let them sit, only to rust away?

well for me I didn't mean to let my bug sit for 10 years but i didn't have the money or place anymore to work on it and now that its apart I was only ever offered 10% of what i put into it. and Like me maybe they think someday they will be able to work on it again.

The owner would have fewer headaches by not dealing with tightwad tire kickers. Of everything pictured, maybe a few vehicles are solid enough to be worthwhile; otherwise, he'd get more money hauling it all in for scrap. Better yet, he could have a mobile crusher come out and get it all cleaned up inside of two weeks and still come out ahead.

I have been in this yard many times. The owner is very friendly or was when I was there. Last time was around 2006ish At the time his wife was having health issues. He will sell or was at one point. best of luck to you.

Easy. People like this think they have "gold" sitting on their properties, and they don't. It's a complete joke, the cars rust away and lose value while the owner thinks their value is going up. Then the owner of the property dies or loses the property and everything gets crushed.

figured i'd tell everyone i go to this yard all the time, i was there today, im friends with the guy who watches the place and he lets me buy parts, and i help him out with ordering stuff for his cars, its been a year and ive still yet to meet the actual owner of the yard who could sell the cars, i stopped posting cause theres nothing really new to tell, ill keep trying, the funny part is a few more cars have been put over there, more than a little frustrating, the place is more like a vw graveyard than a goldmine

You should just post your or your friends phone number, so you/he/they can sell parts etc if you/he/they want to.
