Selling parts from your car isn't going to make you a lot of money, but it beats just leaving them on the car as it's towed to the junkyard. You can also sell your car parts by word of mouth. You never know what can happen.

I usually replace spark plugs once a year. The clerk at the replacement parts needs specific information about your vehicle to be able to provide you with the correct parts that fit your car.

Antique auto parts do enhance the overall view of an old car. Many people with very old cars do look for other old attractive items which will help beautify their cars.

So go ahead and look for used car parts that will bring your favorite car back to life. It does not matter how big or how small the part is, salvage yards make every effort to salvage as much as they can from every car that is parked in their yard to be recycled.
