Subject:Core charge for Vanagon Transmission?
From:Beth Young
Date:Sat, 8 Mar 1997 06:27:10 -0800 (PST)

Hi all:

I bought a transmission at a wreaking yard yesterday, but since I'm
not going to pull it 'till next week, I paid the yard owner up front
to "hold" it for me.  As we were settling up he causually mentioned
that I could pay the core charge when I actually come back to get it.

It never occured to me that there might be a core charge on a piece
bought at a wreaking yard.  Is this normally done on rebuildable
parts?  What's a reasonable core charge in this situation?

Thanks.
