#16587 05/31/2004 5:41 AM | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | $150 is standard core charge for a beat 261 from the wrecking yards around here. I have seen them go as high as $500 for a really good runner. I got a good runner in a C60 dumptruck just for hauling it away - ie free. | | |

Ultimately, it all comes down to how badly someone wants/needs it.
