5 Tips For Getting Junkyard Auto Parts For Car Or Truck

Classic cars require special treatment and care for two reasons. The first and the most obvious is the fact that they are unique and rare and secondly because it is not easy to get them repaired if damage happens to the car. Hence, the importance of classic car covers cannot be stressed enough.

These items are mostly junk and can be found mostly in villa rentals. But relax, we do not want you to go on a junkyard hunting trip! There are dealers who sell junk and scrap too.

I like to stop in my local store at least once a week to see what they have. Some of my best finds have been, Barilla plus pasta for.50 a box, canned beets, peas, corn, string beans and diced tomatoes for.25 a can, IAMS 4lb bags of dog food for $2 a bag,.5 liter bottles of Perrier for.25 each, Kelloggs Smart Start cereal for $1 a box, Ken's salad dressings for.25 a bottle, 10lb red potatoes for $2.



So, what happens is often times the car will be issued a salvage title instead of a regular one. This type of title is meant to protect buyers so that they know the vehicles history and are aware of any potential problems. If this happens it can be well worth it to keep the car even if it gets a salvage title. Many times the car can be rebuilt depending on the original damage.

However, if you have any plan to replace your old car within one or two years, then it would be better for you to invest less on it. In such cases, you should give priority to purchasing a used one. But, you have to remember that you can't replace all damaged parts with used parts. There are some obstructions replacing parts like spark-plug and ECU sensors. You have to think about parts, which are durable and won't bother at all using for long time like engine head, cylinder, piston, and crankshaft and so on.

If you run into someone who wants to negotiate a price for removal or who wants a cut of your scrap profits you will need to know the quantity of metal beforehand. You'll need to know the weight of the metal if you plan on purchasing scrap and reselling. A scale can help you with most items however you should already have an idea of what certain commodity items ie. Radiators, engine blocks, rail ties, refrigerators etc. will fetch at your local yard.

Become friendly with your local contractors, plumbers, electricians, roofers, machine shop owners, anyone who deals with metals. If you can work out a deal with them, contract with these local sources to remove their throw away metals on a regular basis. Most of them will be more than happy to just give it to you, it saves them the time and expense of hauling it away. Sort out the metal according to type...aluminum, brass, copper, iron, steel, tin, etc. After being separated, it's worth at least $30 a ton or more. Next, you need to search for scrap metal processors through your local yellow pages. They are more than anxious to buy all the scrap that you can bring them at the going rates.
