Junkyard recommendations between NH and MD

Post by FireFox31 »

Can anyone recommend junkyards in NH, MA, CT, NYC area, NJ, DE, MD, or DC area. I'm looking for ones which have P80s and ideally let me pull my own parts. I am looking for good quality carpets, body panels, and a great 1998 oak front seat, so I'll have to do a lot of looking for these parts. Thanks.

There are 4 LKQ pick your parts surrounding the Baltimire MD area. https://www.lkqpickyourpart.com/
LKQ Pick Your Part - Edgewood 1706 Pulaski Highway Edgewood, MD 21040 is the furthest north of Baltimore.
If you create an account you can specify which cars you are interested in. The site will send you an email when a vehicle comes into the yard. There are 3 other locations. 2 in the southeast Baltimore city area and one to the west in Mt. Airy MD.
Fewer P80 vehicles are coming into the yard recently. The Washington, Maryland, Virginia area has multiple large Volvo dealerships and we have had a good supply of P80s over the last 10 years. Now that the cars are 20 plus years old I am concerned that the supply is drying up. I also recommend that you get to a car as soon as it is listed. You are going to have competition :-).

Brandywine company has several yards around DC but Volvos are concentrated at Foreign Car Parts in Upper Marlboro MD, and was my source back when I was still able to do the junkyard crawl.
