Right now, none of them have the number of VWs that Atlanta South had the last time we went. There were 15 or 16 air-cooled and too many water-cooled to count that time. Right now, there are only a handful of VWs at any of the close ones.
On the prices, they are exactly what they show on the web site. I've been to Atlanta North once and Atlanta South twice. At Atlanta north, I got a 1.6 EFI Mazada 323 engine, complete from pullys to flywheel, including all the intake, fuel injection, distributor, and exhaust manafold, plus a wiper switch and a double handful of relays from a Buick Reatta. After tax and core charge it was about $145. The engine runs like a charm, and doesn't even leak oil! At Atlanta south, I got a power window regulator and an air filter box for my 96 Passat along with a bunch of other small parts . . . I think I spent about $35 that time. I left the pipe going from the air filter box to the intake, including the mass airflow sensor attached to the box . . . they didn't charge any extra for it. The last time I was there, I spent about $110. For that, I got two good Michilen tires with re-enforced sidewalls mounted on bus wheels (they are the front of Homer and are working great!) . . . I aslo got an inner front bumper for my Passat . . . and a good bus windshield . . . and a set of set belts from an S-10 . . . and some other stuff, just can't think of what it was.
Even if I didn't need any parts, it's a lot of fun just to plunder through a hugh junk yard. It's about the most fun you can have for a dollar anywhere! (it cost a dollar to go on the lot). My only advice is, don't go when it's 100 degrees unless you take A LOT of water!!! I think Russ, Fred and Kyle can confirm that.
:lol: I just wish there was one in the Chattanooga area! :cry:
