They deducted 1140 lb for the six wheels and tires and paid me right at $1,300, which is more than I had in it. Now I will sell the six wheels and tires that are dated beginning of 2017. I wish I had known and had the energy and time to pull more off. Tow truck driver looked at it and said the brakes and drums were brand new.

Any trips to WA in the future?

I'd be really interested in those tire if they were closer.

If you end up selling an odd number of wheel+tire let me know, I've been wanting to pick up a spare now that I have the tools necessary to do a roadside tire change. Glad to hear you made out OK at the salvage yard,

Really looking to sell them as a set. Sorry Steve next Pacific Northwest trip will be a while. Cars are u to $7 per hundred pounds, but they would only give me 650 for the bus. They say there's more aluminum in other valuable Metals in a car did they can salvage than a bus, hence the difference, cost me 90 bucks
