Time To Sell That Car For The Junkyard
If you don't think bikes break, just look on eBay - why in the world are all those parts there? Motorcycles are slippery little devils too... it's so easy to watch one "fly" down the freeway and out of your hands and into the guard the rail. A little bloody to talk about but it's the truth. One little lay-down and you're are looking at a bunch of connected parts, period - true?
Don't be greedy. Now, I understand that this is all about getting the top dollar for your car, but, there is a walk-away price for any business. Most salvagers are only willing to pay a little more then half of what they can make off the car. So, if your asking price is more then 65% of what they can make, then they will more then likely walk away from it.
One drill. One 3/4" paddle drill bit. One Phillips head #2 screw head. One small box of course thread 2" drywall screws. One bottle of wood glue. One 1/8" drill bit. One hand or power saw.
For those who live near a car junkyard, this can be a cornucopia of auto parts. However, this can be quite time consuming, especially in large used parts near me. You may have to search through hundreds of vehicles before finding the right part. It is also dirty work so wear old clothes. The advantage is the price. You can usually get the part you need at rock bottom prices and many junkyard owners will negotiate. Be sure to check out the part carefully as you can rarely return a non-working car part.
Arrange for a deal. Make an appointment for the salvage yard to pick up your car. If your car is still driveable, you may be able to make more money on the deal by taking it to the yard yourself.
Local Auction - When the government takes possession of a business, the assets are often sold at an auction to the highest bidder. You definitely stand to save a load of money this way, but you have to be careful: oftentimes, you can't inspect the vehicles before the auction. If that's the case, your bid should reflect the worst possible condition that the lot of used heavy trucks could possibly be. You can find auction announcements in the newspaper, Pennysaver, or on Craigslist.
When Arnie saves up enough money to get his own car, he notices a broken down 1958 Plymouth Fury in the wrecking yard. The car needs major work, but Arnie doesn't care. He has to have it. Despite the advice of Dennis and the disapproval of his parents, Arnie buys this car and takes a job at a shop, where he can work on the car.
I have been in businesses for 30 years. I understand fashion. My $100 Italian wool slacks are probably now out of style and are going to the Salvation Army, even though they look like the day I bought them.
