How To Save Money When Buying Auto Parts

What cannot be used, like aluminum, is compressed and sold when the prices is right. Hubcaps are sold for very little and the same goes for batteries.



If you are unable to find a suitable buyer who is willing to purchase your car for the amount you are selling it for, the last resort would be to sell a car to the junkyard. The reason behind this option being the last resort is because the amount of money you will get from selling a car to the second hand car is going to be a bare minimum especially in comparison to the amount of money you could earn from the above mentioned methods.

Banks and financial institutions offer loans for almost any purpose like buying a personal item or even a holiday trip. You can avail personal loans for buying your dream car. Now, this type of financing is useful when you need a loan for a smaller amount like $15,000.

Kitchen base cabinets can be had for as little as $100 a piece, depending on width of the cabinets, number of doors, drawers, etc. If you plan to paint the cabinets, prowl the junk yard. I found a nice 30-inch, 2-door, cabinet base with a drawer the other week for ten dollars!

The Dealer - The best place to get original equipment manufacturer parts is through your local dealer. They have everything your vehicle needs or can order it for you. However, just remember a dealer can be a pricey option for you: you'll pay the full price on just about everything in their inventory.

While junk yards are one of the most common places where you can find used parts, they're not the only places. Though, you will always get much better deals at junkyards than any other place. Most of the damaged and old vehicles always have a number of spares that work perfectly well. Sometimes these parts are almost new. The only problem with junkyards is that at most of the times you will have to locate and remove the spare part yourself. On the flipside, this saves your money on labor charges that some other dedicated stores might charge you.

Toilets: Complete toilet sets -- tank, bowl, seat, and hardware -- can be had for as little as $79. Usually, the taller a toilet, the more expensive it is. Also, when you get into brand names, you, naturally, encounter more costs.
