Whats the average price you guys have gotton things from the interior and exterior of a J in a junkyard. i just got off the phone with 3 yards and there pretty close to the same but there prices are outrageouse!!. ill list some things below
Z24 front- Nobody has one
Z24 Rear bumper- 200$
Sideskirts off Z24- Nobody knows what the hell im talking about
Dash Pad- $50-100 (all of them broken)
Dash Bezel- $50
HVAC Faceplate- $10-50 (the 50 was outrageos just for the face)
Center console- $50
seats- $50-75
Z24 Wheels- Nobody has them and claims they dont make a 16" Z24 whl
Taillight Filler Panel- $25
Headlight- 85$
some of the prices are reasonable. but the other ones make me wanna kill myself. there insane. so are these normal prices. i know some people on here have gotton almost a whole interior for like 50-100 bucks
Here are prices from a pick-a-part yard I goto...
Z24 front- (bumper? clip?)
Z24 Rear bumper- $26 (cover)
Sideskirts off Z24- (I'd have to call)
Dash Pad- $17
Dash Bezel- $11 (speedometer price)
HVAC Faceplate- (I'd have to call)
Center console- $16
seats- $22-37
Z24 Wheels- $25 or $35 with tire
Taillight Filler Panel- ($1 per inch for taillights?)
Headlight- $26 glass, $16 plastic
holly crap. where do you live. those are the prices i was thinking. why would my junkyards be triple the prices??
you guys are lucky as hell. im kind of pissed about the whole situation. i dont knwo what else to do. im defineatly not buying them from a junkyard now. i know i can get a brand new Z24 bumper off ebay for 90$ shipped. but the Rears are hard to find some times.
i live right across from philly so i have a ton of junkyards open to me and if you go to the u-pull-it places the parts are dirt cheap. some places charge you 30 bucks for all you can carry and 70 for all you can drag out
I dont know. i dont know if any of the 3 yards i called were pick and pull or not. i guess ill have to call again and find out. either way. 200 bucks for a Z24 Rear Bumper is outrageous. even if i did go get it myself its not gonna be any cheaper than 100. so im still getting screwed.
I am in CO.
Here is one south of me...

I think a few weekends ago, their weekend special was all you can carry for 50 feet is $50.
now thats insane. i dont knwo where to begin looking for prices like that.im kinda pissed right now.
Yesterday I went to victory auto wreckers and paid 20 for rear spaeker deck and carpent retainers on both sides.
A couple years ago, I got all the interior plastic for a 90 cavi sedan for $50 from a yard
I'm waiting till I have a Saturday free and I'm gonna go strip a Fire Vert of all the parts that I can that are useable.
The other day I got a strut tower brace off a cavy, one that connects to firewall, and the drivers side carpet cover trim for $25, and right before that from a different yard I got a rear deck cover and the center console and brackets (for the auto shift and where the screw goes under coin holder) from an 00 (or whatever year the made them newer with 2 cup holders and the e-brake coming out of console) cavy for $40. Not too bad, especially for the strut brace imo.
pssh. i just found out that there are NO pik and pull places in montana. its @!#$ up. im not to happy. so ill be shopping the classifieds for a Z24 Rear bumper. and ill buy the front off of ebay for 90 shipped.
I know how you feel there wojo...there is a really nice junkyard in my area with a lot of Js in it in pretty good condition. The only problem is that they butt rape you on every little part that they can. I wanted some clear turn signal housings from them which they have like 12 cars out there with them on them. They wanted to charge me $25 for EACH one...I can get them new for like $22. My friend also needed a climate control knob for a Grand Am GT. They wanted $15 for it...He ended up getting it new at a local dealer for $6 and they had it in stock. The owner of this junkyard also has a huge house and really nice vehicles. He only gives like $100-$200 for an entire vehicle and then wants to charge $50 for on little piece. It ticks me off cause I could really use a lot of the stuff he has.
here's a site for the "u pick and pull" yards i go to. just have to keep checking. and a little luck never hurts. i just found a Z front bumper last week.
