Well, how many 914 guys are around you that REALLY know how to dissasemble them? I mean with a 914 on a forklift about 2' in the air one person could dissasemble a 914 completely in about 10 hours or less. (Obviously this person would need to be able to operate the forklift in order to pull the engine/trani)
I say you concrete a 20x20 pad, 3" of concrete should be good, Say about 1-2k. OH and get a 200$ large white tent to put over top so the worker wont die. Then pull every car off one by one onto the pad, Inspect the car. 1. If the chassis is solid enough to drive on, and the car is complete or near complete, Pull it off to a cleaned area of the lot and offer them for sale for 500-1k. This would be your quick movers. I figure you'll have 10 of them. 2. If the chassis is solid and the car has minor damage or lots of parts missing, Strip it down to a rolling chassis and steering column. Put these in another area that has been cleared. I figure you'll have 40 chassis. You should offer the rolling chassis's for sale for 350-500. 3. If the car has been in an accident but has really good body parts, strip the chassis completely and set them on wheels similar to pick n pull. You should do this to a max of 20 chassis. After that, start stacking them to be crushed, send 2ea a week to the crusher. 4. If the car is rotted but has good parts, Pull the good parts and send the rest to the crusher. 5. If the car doesnt have any good parts, the chassis needs a lot of work, Offer the for sale for $25, If they need help loading onto their flatbed its an extra $50 per man per 1/2 hour. As you come to them, Offer them for sale for a total of 1 month, after that if you have a pick n pull by you, offer it to them for sale, if they wont take it, Crusher. Now there are possible solutions for the labor here, You could have your laborers do the work. OR you could offer up to the locals some options such as. Strip one car and get $250 in parts at current days rates off of any of the parts that have been stripped from the lot. Strip 4 cars and get a complete car of your choice. Team up with your buddy's and bust out a couple cars in a weekend for group rates! Quick and nasty solution. Itll take a couple of years to go through it all if you have one laborer do it. Pricing and all that is up to you, I just put in pricing that "I" would pay. |
