No way. Junkyards here are junk. Period. The cars here don�t wait fully
equipped on the yards to get parted out (as i saw on photos from US yards).
They get parted out from the yard�s owner the moment they arrive! No way to
get nice Vanagon parts. Besides, optional equipment doesn�t ever get to the
yards. It will be parted out before and sold seperately.
Besides, junkyards are not very common here. Not every 50km a huge
one...(which is a pity, IMHO). Don�t know how it is farther south, but I am
speaking about the Bremen area.
