    PnP prices suck. They wanted $28 for a stupid volvo lip and the price list said 10. 50 For a decent dash isnt too bad though

      Ya, theyll try to get you on prices. Front valence is supposed to be 10 bucks. A PnP in fairfield was charging 35!!!!! Thats crazy. Considering they get those cars near free. A friend of mine let PnP pick her car up, 01 Taurus, and they gave her a whopping 61 bucks.

      Lets go hunting one day CJ!

        Removing the A pillar cover is the trick, I also leave on the door seal to cushion the left side so as not to damage it when you slide it out towards the right side. $50 is a okay price since these cars are getting harder to find.

          Is the yard in wilmington a good place to go hunting?
          I've also heard that there is a yard in ontario (off the 60 on miliken?) that constantly has e30s
          anyone have any info?
          I want to go looking for some misc. parts but I really don't know where to go.

                Pick N Pull sucks. They bought out the Pick Your Part yards in Milpitas and Hayward, shut them down and jacked up their own prices. They have a monopoly in the bay area. No more 50% off sales, no more reasonable prices.

                  +1, they offered me $10 for my VW Golf I was getting rid of. No thanks. I sold a headlight and made $30.:nice:

                    If it's small enough to hide it's free. If it's bigger then lie about what it goes to. Keeps money in my pocket. $42 for front rx7 calipers last time I went.
                    Jah bless! :pimp:

                      shit you guys get screwed. They give 350 at the minimum out here for cars. That and we still have competition between pickapart and pullapart.

                        If you have the time and can get a crack free dash for 50, even 300, it's worth it.

                        A new dash (with modern compound) from BMW is 1200 bucks, ask me how I know.

                          Pulled one on the 50% off weekend for $30. So I guess they ripped me off too. It took me so long to get it out I haven't had the courage to swap it in my car yet:D

                            Yup. Thats how I converted my mercedes from Kjet to megasquirt. Injectors, pig tails, relays, sensors etc. They would have charged me a fortune for all that crap. Wear baggy clothes.

                              I just pulled a perfect super eta cluster out of an '88 for $12, now I'll be able to see my actual redline! It also has a PERFECT dash in it.

                                The cheapest price I have found after looking around for a new dash is $1021. There were still several hundred or so available in Germany and a half a dozen in the States. I'm going to bite the bullet and buy a new dash in my iS because I don't want to put another twenty year old dash in my car that is just going to crack in a few months like the used one I put in did. The Texas sun is just too hard on the used dashes. I would rather spend the money and do it once. Conversely when the new dash goes in the car will stay in the garage.
