Truck Restorations - Part 3 - Lessons I Learned Legitimate Way

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.

OEM parts are made by the same manufacturer as the genuine part you would receive from your local dealer. In other words, it's really the same part. The only difference is the logo on the box.

Some scrap yards around me will offer you payment for the truck but they will buy it as scrap metal. When car junk yards near me that sell 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.

Contact salvage yards. Some call them junk yards, while others call them salvage yards. Whatever you call them, they'll be one possible repository for your junk car. Explain to the yard operator what vehicle you have, its condition and answer his questions. You should be given an estimate of the car's worth. Write down that amount, but don't make a deal just yet.

Online suppliers offer reliable auto parts and truck parks and you can get good rates for these. Do your research well to find reputed suppliers who handle quality products. A good way to begin would be to look at official website for auto parts.

Local Auction - When the government takes possession of a business, the assets are often sold at an auction to the highest bidder. You definitely stand to save a load of money this way, but you have to be careful: oftentimes, you can't inspect the vehicles before the auction. If that's the case, your bid should reflect the worst possible condition that the lot of used heavy trucks could possibly be. You can find auction announcements in the newspaper, Pennysaver, or on Craigslist.
