Nah, they were there, but at the rates they get ravaged, I wouldn't suspect much would be there next week.

You can usually call and ask about parts, and they can tell you if they have any cars in the yard that reference to it. Most interior parts, they won't be able to tell you... however, if you just plain old ask about a CRX, they can tell you if one is there.

The guys that work there know what's in the yard, for the most part. I have no idea what pick a part gives for scrap, but last I knew, scrap cars were close to $300/ton in this area. If you got an offer of $75 from a scrapper, chances are, you'll get at least $125 if you go to a scrap yard with it.
