" Var " and " Yok" can be used as a head of an adjective phrase. There are few fixed phrases like that ; 

 

Var gücüyle ---> With all [existing] power of oneself.

 

Var gücüyle arabayı itmeye başladı.  ---> He started to push the car with all his power.

--------------------

Yok  yere  ---> for no apparent reason, for no reason, without reason

 

Yok yere kendini üzme ---> Don´t be upset for no reason. [without reason]

--------------------

Yok pahasına ----> Very cheap, for a song [phrasal], to give something away


Arabasını yok pahasına sattı. ---> He/She sold his/her car for a very little money.

                                                He/She sold  his/her car for a song.
