Most car parts are made up of metal; therefore even your non-functional part would be able to fetch you cash - that's why you need to visit your local recycler. So, they don't just help you get replacements; they even buy your corrupt parts and sell them as scrap metal.



Automotive recyclers offer great deals on used car parts. There are more recyclers out there than you might think. And their prices are hard to beat. One reason is that insurance companies can save money themselves by dropping off wrecked vehicles at a recycling yard. There are many other incentives, though, to shop from these guys.

The dealer charges you a preparation fee to prepare your car. Some often charge an outrageous $500 or more just to peel off the plastic protection on the car, test drive the car and put in the fuses. Most MSRP stickers indicate that these costs have already been covered by the manufacturer. In fact, some car dealers permanently print it on the buyer's order to make it seem mandatory, but one way you can get it removed is by telling the dealer to add a credit (of the same amount as the dealer preparation fees) on the next line. If they refuse to do so, you should simply walk out of the dealership.

In the case of a garage, you can bring your own auto parts! I only recently learned this while doing the marketing for an online parts store. I just bought brake pads and brake rotors online (they didn't sell calipers online but I am fortunate enough to be working in the same building as their bricks and mortar buy used cars so I bought the calipers there).

It is true: used parts can save plenty of money, and it is clear that this is by far the cheapest alternative available to you. The one question many people has it this: are we getting the same quality? That is a good question. Today, many recyclers supply warranties on parts. This means that you will not be buying a potato. Another advantage is that recyclers are much faster when it comes to a specific part you are looking for compared to many dealers. Their businesses run on a network and this allows them to communicate with other recyclers. If a recycler does not have the part you are looking for, there is a great chance that they will find it immediately.

If you are on a tight budget, then you are probably looking at used old car parts. When you don't have an unlimited budget, if you want a good price on the old car parts, you may find yourself spending hours on the phone, or walking around wrecking yards. You can also look up all the local classic car clubs, they usually have classified sections, or members with parts to trade or sell. Make sure you take care to properly inspect the parts before taking them home.

For older, less synonymous cars, like a 2000 Dodge Caravan for example, fixing up a car like this one could present some unique and challenging problems. You are likely to find a significant lack of performance car parts for this particular model of vehicle. You might find plenty of car panels to do some crash repair, but not much in the line of performance parts. Perhaps some of the more outlandish Internet sites and specialty shops might have some parts to fit this vehicle, but overall, that will be about the extent of it.
