Default Who buys cores.

Who buys cores. Power steering valves and rams. They both leak but appear rebuildable. And who would buy my old box as a core.

In their catalog, they advertise for used power steering control valves, slave cylinders or pumps.
They offer $35.00 for power steering valves, $15.00 for cylinder, and $25.00 for pumps.
They also said they will issue a credit towards the purchase of new valves or cylinders.
You might have to call them at their 800 number and ask.
800-345-4122.
They have been very helpful to me on several problems.

Your of Long Island, Long Island Corvette Parts will probably buy them.

Doe you come to Corvette Carlisle? If so, bring them with you. Lonestar Caliper, Muskeegan Brakes, SSB, and any of the Corvette parts vendors, will buy them too.

Everyone buys them, because they always need cores. It's amazing how hard it is to get people to return cores, to get their deposit back.

I've got multiple cores I need to send in. The problem is the cost of freight for some of this stuff eats up the money you would otherwise get back.
