Selling Scrap Cars For Cash
Every state and town has at least a salvage yard where useful parts of dilapidated vehicles are salvaged for re-use. Most of the parts would be non-functional. But even the most dilapidated vehicles have a usable part either on the inside or on the outside.
Some hiring house boats will offer you payment for the truck but they will buy it as scrap metal. When the parts are being sold, the owner needs to present the title for the truck. If not, the sale may not take place as the parts could have been illegally obtained.
Small, electric water heater $160 - $180 (In one property, I bought a small one that would accommodate the no more than, count 'em, "two" people that should have been living in the rental property.) Just remember, you don't have to buy everything "new." They know me well at the local junk and salvage yards in my area and I saved a bundle on things like doors and windows. Some stuff will need to be new, but buy salvage as much as you can.
Aftermarket car parts come in two variations. The first is simply a generic form of the OEM part, much like generic pharmaceuticals compared to name brands. The second is an accessory for a car such as cold air intake systems for the engine, racks to carry bikes and so on. There isn't much debate that this second form of aftermarket car parts is fine, but the first variation is the area where contention starts.
One outlet for used car parts is the local newspaper's classified section. Run an ad and see what happens. Selling parts from your car isn't going to make you a lot of money, but it beats just leaving them on the car as it's towed to the junkyard. You can also sell your car parts by word of mouth. You never know what can happen.
Before you toss your junker, clunker or otherwise malfunctioning car to the wind, consider this: it may be worth money. That's right, your decrepit old jalopy can put some cash in your wallet if you put some strategy in place to get rid of it. Read on and we'll look at some options you have to selling that old car.
Firstly your search will depend greatly on whether or not your vehicle is a new or an older one. The parts for newer vehicles can be found at most stores that carry part for that make and model. For older vehicles it is likely to be more difficult since the manufacturer may have stopped making the part. What many persons do is to use replacement parts on vehicles whose parts are hard to get. You therefore need to decide what kind of vehicle part or body kit you want. Are you looking for aftermarket car parts or genuine parts?
Never offer to Donate your car unless you are doing it for moral purposes. Before 2005 The IRS was writing out deductions like nothing. Until they realize that they where losing Millions in revenue. Nowadays, to receive a deduction on a vehicle donation the value must exceed, but not including, $5,000. What does this mean? If you donate your car and they give you $5001.00, then your deduction is only $1.00. You are batter off taking it to a salvage yard and getting $50 bucks for it.
