Another car part that is very noticeable is your windshield wipers. We have all seen those wipers that looked deformed or like some kind of monster. Not only do they not work as well when they are so bent out of shape; they really can make a normal car look strange. It is also a matter of safety to keep your windshield wipers in check. All the rain and sleet has to get off your window somehow. It is important to keep this in mind when writing your list of priorities on what to fix.
The most important thing is to be able to tell if an auto part is genuine or not. When you are knowledgeable enough, you can't be offered products that are not meant for your specifications. Thus, it would give you big edge to have enough information regarding auto parts from junkyards.
Why then, do so many people fill their minds - their most marvelous resource and possession - with so much rubbish and trash? They treat it like a refuse bin. They refuse to seek information and knowledge, they won't read books or study anything and they think that seminars are a waste of time.
Especially for older cars or antique vehicles being restored, used car parts may very well be the only answer to your parts needs. You may not find any auto supply outlet with access to car parts for a '49 Studebaker pickup or a '32 Ford, but you may very well find salvage yards with cars that are being sold for parts.
There are salvage yards in most cities or towns, and they sometimes have decent deals. The problem is that their inventory is usually fairly limited. A salvage yard near you might not have what you are looking for, but another yard 100 miles away might have it. The problem is that you can't keep track of the inventory of all of the surrounding salvage yard and wait for just the right model to show up. What you need is a centralized place to look at the inventory of many different sellers and the ability to buy quickly before somebody else snatches up the car you are looking for.
The problem with buying used is that you have no idea what condition the unit is in. Appearance is not a good indicator and you have no way to do a pressure test. So, what do you do?
The best way to get ready for the rehabbing business is to grab a cup of coffee on Saturday mornings (even before you pickup a property) and head out to the salvage yard, builders' surplus store, network marketing online and your mega home improvement store. Sniff around these places so you know what things cost. This will go a long way in helping you prepare budgets that are dead on that will have you smiling when you look at your bottomline.
What do you need to know if you want to pursue this option? Start by visiting area junkyards and telling them about the tires that you have. Be sure to be completely honest about the condition, as this will dictate the price. See what they will offer, and then try to negotiate a better price. In general, used tires should bring in 25 to 50 percent of the actual retail value of a similar used tire. If you are not happy with the price, shop around until you find a better one.
