Yeah, maybe you'll find a yard and through the thick of their confusion of why in the world an american wants to rummage through old shitty euro cars and waste their time, you walk away with a german check or two and some euro grills... thats about all thats going to happen.
My point is, if you dont know what youre doing and going for, its a COMPLETE waste of time and it will blow your trip unless you've got it all in the bag.
If you find a yard and they happen to let you in, just go for anything small with german writing. Everything else is too big to cary back with you.
The way that it works best is a resident makes friends with the yards and they pull the parts in an agreement that he'll basicly be buying everything. Then that person sells to someone with the means of importing a large amount of goods (me) and sells to the US.
