What is my wrecked car worth to an auto salvage yard?

I wouldn't expect anything for it. I know that in the area I live in or further into the country/ quebec there are a lot of mechanics who own garages and buy cars just like this to fix up and resell. I would go try and find something like that first since they may give you upwards of 300-500 for it. You would need to cover towing though if they don't have their own truck. (In all honesty though a towing fee isn't much)

However here is a list of things you could probably salvage yourself and are all very easy to take off the car. Also my estimated prices but go on ebay or something and check out what they're actually selling for:

Catalytic converter: easy to remove, $100-250

Mass airflow sensor: even easier to remove, $30-70

Battery: ridiculously easy to remove (generally just a single screw): $depends on age

Deck: easy, but dunno price

Any aftermarket parts you may have: (replacement stuff)

Tires: lol

Wheels: Alloys will sell for a good price, easy to remove

That's pretty much it for easy stuff. If you are going to get another intrepid then there's a bunch of other stuff I would take so that you can save money on future repairs for your new car. (Near future since it is a dodge). pay a mechanic to take out some parts for you such as brakes can save you hundreds if they're in good condition, anything on your front end really i.e. struts, balljoints, etc. Also look up common rust spots for that vehicle and take that part too depending on if you have room for all this junk (junk that will save you way more than you pay to get them removed though).

If you don't want any of this hassle which I can fully understand, put an ad (usedanywhere.com is a good one) saying your situation and I'm positive you'll have lots of other GM owning suckers who will flock to your gold mine of parts. Charge them about half of what they woudl pay anywhere else and make them remove it themselves. OR just get it towed and never look back.

My 1994 Dodge Intrepid was in prefect running condition, I was in my car at the traffic light when I was rear-ended and the car was totaled out. Now I have to get rid of it and thought an auto salvage yard might want it for parts. But I don't know ...

Now you can get on average $300 Cash and have it towed for you. Yes. 5 years later, 2014, the price of scrap metal has gone up. No more paying someone to tow, or get nothing at the Salvage or Junk Yard. If you have a complete car, meaning you didn't strip it, and it is damaged, or the engine doesn't even work, you still get $300. The competition is fierce now too. Example, in Northern Virginia. 571.437.4747 are 3 places you can call right now. http://www.junkmycar4cashnva.com/ or http://cashformyjunkcarnva.com/ or http://towjunkcarsforcash.com/ I know because I do some side works for them.

Well, Dodge's don't exactly have the best condition bodywork and internal components when they are new! So when it is wrecked and almost 200,000 miles old I don't know... maybe $50 - 100. If the guy was a real tw*t then he could charge you, but that would be harsh. If he does, take the car somewhere else.

I was an appraiser at a collision center and every now and then we had one of these no repair cases.

Usually a company connected to a salvage yard came in and purchased the vehicle for the charge of the tow bill, estimate is it was not going to be repaired due to damage.

At best you may get $200 for your vehicle.

Most salvage yards will actually charge YOU for the towing fees.

But, you've got to get rid of it somehow! May as well call to find out.

The parts will be worth a lot to a junk yard for resale but I don't think you'll get $50.

Sometimes, they come out to your place and pick a car up for free. Other times, they give you $50, $100, or something like that. It's not much.

Yep, it seems the going rate is about 100 dollars to maybe 175 if you tow it the yard yourself, but you just gotta call em and ask em. You might not find anybody to take it, I am surprised that you still have it, who totaled it out , if insurance did than normarlly they take possession of the car when they pay you out for it and declare it totaled.
