Should You Purchase Auto Parts From A Salvage Yard
I like to stop in my local store at least once a week to see what they have. Some of my best finds have been, Barilla plus pasta for.50 a box, canned beets, peas, corn, string beans and diced tomatoes for.25 a can, IAMS 4lb bags of dog food for $2 a bag,.5 liter bottles of Perrier for.25 each, Kelloggs Smart Start cereal for $1 a box, Ken's salad dressings for.25 a bottle, 10lb red potatoes for $2.
On the other hand you can contact a car salvage company or a junkyard. Such companies are always on the look out for cars in bad condition. They either recondition these cars to sell them off again if this is possible or they use break them down to repair and sell their spare parts.
The most common means of selling a salvage car is at auto auctions. In general, auto auctions are venues where salvage cars, along with repossessed cars, are sold to the highest bidder. Most auto auctions are strictly for auto dealers, but some are open to the public. If you are an auto dealer, these venues are a great opportunity for you to buy salvage cars for dirt cheap prices, fix them up, and then sell them to receive great profits.
Take the time to find the spot price of gold before you sell your scrap pieces. Then, calculate how much your collection is worth based on the current price and the gold content of each piece. By doing this, you'll have a realistic expectation regarding the amount of money you'll receive.
What makes them work is the fact that these junk yards possess auto parts that may not be found in local auto parts stores. This is because there are certain vehicles that are made in other countries that require their parts to be ordered. There are also some cars that are so old the parts cannot be found just anywhere. That is another instance in which the part may need to be ordered from the manufacturer. Unfortunately, that can be extremely expensive.
Take some bottled water with you. Those car reapirs can get hot. It can also come in hand for washing your hands or parts off. Lots of those vehicles are there because they were wrecked in muddy conditions.
Who can go to one? Because of the risk involved, insurance salvage auto auctions are only open to car dealers that have a valid license. But, you can become friends with a local dealer that might take you along with them to their next auction. 9 times out of 10 they'll charge you a fee though.
