Buying Car Parts – An Overview

How can you get in on the action? First get a basic business license with your state online. Just do a Google search and you’ll find the agency that can process your application in 10 minutes or less–usually $50. Now post an ad in Craigslist’s moving and labor section. Make it as professional as possible. Add graphics. Note that your prices are competitive. Call other junk haulers to “feel out” their prices. You should initially price yourself slightly below the competition as you build a following.

That pile was not created by itself. It started out flat, then as more and more metal strips were piled on top of each other, it grew in breath and scope. Until finally, it stood as a testament to man’s wasteful habits.

Most dealers and refineries transact gold on a pennyweight basis, so if you’re using a kitchen scale, you’ll need to convert from grams or ounces. One ounce is the same as 20 pennyweights, and 1.5 grams is equal to one pennyweight. Once you have weighed your scrap gold, check the spot price. That figure is in ounces, so divide it by 20 for its pennyweight value or by 31.1 for its gram value. Keep in mind that the spot price is for pure gold; scrap is never pure (24 karats). You won’t get the entire spot price, but you’ll have a rough estimate of your profit.

Find your car title — Before you can scrap your car, you’ll need to find your car title. No salvage yard will take your car without one that you’ll sign over to them. If your title is missing, you’ll need to contact your DMV to issue a new one. Fill out the proper forms and pay the fee.

Junkyard cars provide a wealth of cheap auto parts if you want to take the time to look. And you can get more stuff for the bucks you spend. Getting your cool auto into tip top shape is the real goal.

Cadillac has a few commercials out with popular songs in them. The annual year end event commercial uses “Better Day” by Black Iris Music. The 2010 Cadillac SRX commercial uses “1901” by Phoenix. The Cadillac Escalade used “Age of Consent” by New Order.

The first step towards recycling your car is finding a junk yard that is interested in buying vehicles for used car parts. Not all junk yard will pay for old cars, and you might as well make some money out of the transaction.

Sell your car for parts on your own. They’re many people that just need parts. If you can stomach what comes with selling your junk car for part, then that is the best way to go. You will make more money then any salvage yard, salvager, or scrap yard would pay you.

Let’s face it; you may even still have to have this old clunker insured and may be paying for tags for it too, so basically you’re losing money having this car. It won’t run, and even if it would you might be too embarrassed to drive it down the street.

The key word in the first option is elusive. The trouble with the great old cars is just that – they are old. That means three things: One, they are going to be difficult to find. Two, if you do manage to find a car, it may not be in the best condition, which means a long, difficult overhaul involving the search for hard-to-find parts and a lot of money. Three, if you find a car and it is in good shape, you will be at the mercy of the seller. The seller is a car-lover like you, and will be able to read the degree of your desire.
