What can I get for a total for recycle/scrap?

I'm heartbroken, my '96 5 speed manual Tacoma was hit and totaled Sunday. He protected me well. Now I'm faced with selling him to a dismantler. Any ideas on what a fair amount would be? He was running great at the time of the collision. I'm in Northern CA. Thanks for your help!

 

What ever scrap is going for per pound in your area

Just a guess here ... but "parting it out" will bring more than "scrap" ... looks like good body parts towards the rear ... and 1996 parts are getting harder to find.

Looks like some good glass, plastic and steel parts there.

Agreed!! Scrap steel is super low right now. I would part out if I were you.

Sorry about your vehicular loss.

 

Definitely part out what you can and scrap the rest. There's a huge demand for salvaged Tacoma parts, you might be able to make enough to put a healthy downpayment towards another vehicle.

Still sucks for the loss, assuming the other driver was at fault? Hopefully you'll get a nice insurance settlement if that's the case.

 

if you were to part it out yourself and it was a 4x4 TW would probably pick the thing clean, like vultures. You still have lots of good parts so if you have the resources I also vote part out

 

You will probably get more out of just the bed compared to selling the whole truck for scrap.

 

Pretty much everything behind the doors should be in good shape, you'll get plenty more by parting it out, especially if you can find someone to pick up the bed locally.

 

Agreed.

 

Totally part it out or sell it for a parts rig. Don't scrap it.

 

Your parts are even more valuable since so many 1st gens were crushed. That bed alone is some serious cash to the right buyer

 

maybe 150? call your local wrecking yard.

 

Sounds prolly pretty close.

 

Call a few dismantlers in your area.

 

Part out for sure. I would buy that bed in a second if I lived close. Where are you?

 

Try asking the Rancho Toyota Scrapper up near Sacramento.

 

How's the tailgate? Might be interested in that if you still have it?

 

Your local Pick-n-pull, will only give about $200 for it. Their web-site has an on-line calculator for an estimate. They will pickup as well, if you are within their 'towing zone'.
