One special warning: the growth of the counterfeit parts industry is causing fits for retailers and consumers. If you suspect that you have purchased a bogus part, return it to the retailer for a full return. One more good reason to learn what a company’s return policy is before you do business with them.

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.

Both car enthusiasts and budget buyers have spurned the demand. So before you think of giving your dead beat car to a junk yard for scrapping it, consider this option of selling it to a car salvage company.

My recent experience with eBay was pretty dismal. I found a lot of junk online. As a seller I would be embarrassed to throw these dirty, scrappy looking ATV parts on the web and actually ask money for them. It was like going through a scrap yard. It was a little better than the scrap yard I suppose minus the heat, the filth, and the hidden bee’s nests tucked away into smashed up automobiles. At least in this method you could see the junk up close and decide if it was going to be worth it or not.

What you “feel” will cause you to create scenarios in your mind. If you feel poorly toward a person do you really believe it does not affect your entire life?

When fixing up a vehicle, there are some parts that no longer work and need to be tossed out. Instead of putting them in the trash, take these items to be recycled. Even if they are not worth a lot of money, some money is better than getting nothing for putting the pieces in the trash.

The next method that I have used to acquire parts for less for my automobile is a bit more risky than shopping at a local 1981 pontiac grand prix, but I have never experienced any type of complication from making purchases in this fashion. This step involves using the internet. There are many different online resources that can be implemented when purchasing vehicle components online. For example, there are many online wholesalers that have massive amounts of parts that can be sold at much lower prices than automobile parts stores offer. In addition to this, there are online auction websites like eBay, as well as many classified advertisements that offer great deals on vehicle components.

Don’t forget the Radiator and Condenser..The radiator and condenser are often overlooked, because they are a bit of pain to take out, on some models. That being said, they are a nice source of profit for you, should you decide to extract them. Some radiators are made from copper, those are by far, the most valuable ones… if you know how to clean them up right. The radiator and condenser should bring you about $4.00-$20.00 depending upon whether it’s all aluminum, or aluminum and copper.
