Thrifty Junkyard Advice:

- If you wear nice clothes to the junkyard you will be charged more.  Also,
if you have a choice drive your ugliest car to the yard.

- The prices are negotiable and they want to sell parts.  I always make a
counter offer to their quote and they never refuse.  This saves me at least
25%.

- Buy several parts at once rather than individually.  The more items you
buy the cheaper the individual cost.

Feel out a couple local yards.  It will quickly become clear which is the
best.  Take a friend and have fun.
