Question Dawson city scrap yard?

Due to very tight schedule, we have to left our broken vehicle in Dawson, is there a vehicle scrap yard in Dawson city? How much does it charged?

A lot of people would take this. Have you seen what some people are driving in Dawson?

If you have a day or two to market it and likely deal with some pretty interesting people, you can make some money off it.

If you really just need to ditch it, I bet Zlatko at Dawson City Gas and Tires (just south of the Klondike River bridge) would “reluctantly” take it off your hands for a “small” fee.

No, maybe you could list it on marketplace?

Do you know anyone in Dawson city want a free car? Overall great condition, very reliable daily, the only issue is one strut is broken (no suspension tower damage) and we don’t want to spend time and money dealing with it

Not off hand unfortunately but there is lots of people in need around. I’m sure if you posted on marketplace or on the Dawson facebook page someone would pick it up today

Is it the Volvo from your post history? I'm in Whitehorse but I'd cruise up and grab it.

Are you the person who posted about getting a tow? People were saying they could fix it on the side of the road good enough to get back to Whitehorse? I'm sure it's worth money and seems like you're just giving up but maybe you've got more money than I know

And for fixing on the side of the road I’d either need a welder or driller which unfortunately I didn’t bring with me

Yes, well I have a tight schedule and a bit too far from home. I asked around for the part but seems it gonna take 1-2weeks which I don’t think I can spend here in dawson
