Discount Auto Accessories Make The Grade

If the salvage yard isn't your thing, there are other options. Often, salvage cars are sold privately by their owners. eBay can be a great tool in finding these privately-sold salvage cars. Websites like vehixx may also list salvage cars being sold privately.



Leased cars are not the only nearly new cars that you can find. There are some that have sat on the lot and not sold. These may have been used for many test drives, but for some reason they did not sell. That does not mean that there is anything wrong with them. Times are tough, and new cars sales in some areas are understandably low. Some of these cars are deeply discounted when the new model year comes around so that the lot can get rid of them. This is where you can get a good discount on a car that may only have a few hundred miles on it.

If you don't have the time or the resources to visit car parts dealers individually try searching for vintage car parts on the internet. There are thousands of sites that sell them and you just may find the particular part that you are looking for. Most of these sites offer different types, kinds and brands of antique auto parts.

The next place to search for them is in auto shops and dealers that specialize in them. Such dealers stock antique parts starting from wheels, hoods and grilles to dashboard instruments like door handles and engine parts.

The reason for this is again obvious. Keeping inventory that is not going to be sold is expensive. So auto parts dealers keep limited supplies for these vehicles.

In most cases, the part you need will come with a short-term warranty. However, it is a better idea to find out if the company offers a return policy. What if you get the part, get home, and then find out you bought the wrong thing? Most companies offer some type of exchange policy and that can make all of the difference. Know what you are buying and what type of guarantee or warranty you are getting when you do so.

Off-lease cars, off-rental cars, company cars, fleet cars, repossessed cars, trade in cars and salvage cars find their way in to auctions. The main purpose of auctions is to make a quick sale of the cars at a price to dealers who can further sell it off for a decent profit in the retail market. You always get something flip worthy at an auction.

The discount auto accessories industry is very competitive and there is a healthy secondary market. You can check out the local salvage yard or auto parts shop but if you need something major like a radiator, there are entire networks of salvage yards and garages that you can post what you need and they will find it for you. Then you can decide on the best deal and then the part is delivered to your door. In most cases, it is at least as cheap as having to find and remove the part yourself at some obscure salvage yard and not have the right tools. It's a lot less messy and the part is torn up before you get it.
