If the junk vehicle in your yard is obviously not a classic car but is in decent cosmetic condition, the first thing you should do is see if you can get the car started. In most cases the engine has seized up which could mean it will cost you a lot of money to get it fixed. Contact a mechanic or somebody who knows a lot about cars to see if they can diagnose what is wrong with the vehicle. In most cases they will tell you it needs a new engine and perhaps a new transmission. The cost of buying these parts and installing them will probably far exceed the value of the vehicle. In fact, you might even be able to buy the same vehicle in working condition for far less than it would take you to fix the junk car in your yard. Not to mention that would be far less headache.

When it comes to passenger cars, many of them have couplers on drawbars that pivot about the trucks (wheels). This allows you to run passenger cars that are slightly longer than the freight cars on tight curves (however there is a limit to how long a passenger car you can run without derailing). Most passenger cars come with four wheel trucks but some come with six. Six wheel trucks obviously need larger radius curves.

The internet being what it is these days you can sometimes find the part you want by searching your junkyard’s website! A junkyard search like this couldn’t be easier!

Just remember that looking for used auto parts isn’t much different than looking for a used car. Check the classifieds too. All of these ways of looking will save you time and money.

Cut off the Catalytic Converter… Until recent years, this was one of the greatest secrets of the most profitable things to do, after you buy wrecked cars for sale. The catalytic converter contains platinum and other expensive metals that recycling centers love to get their hands on. Leaving the catalytic converter on the car is a huge mistake, because the average factory original catalytic converter is worth between $50.00 and $100.00, some of them even more!

Another reason the electric RC cars are good is because you don’t have to deal with the mess of carrying around gallons of nitro or gas. You also don’t have to fill fuel tanks or start big engines.

Muscle cars have the philosophy of the hot rodder which is equipping small cars with bug engines. It has the 98 hp or 73 kW weaklings. They are usually made for straight line speed. They have neither sophisticated chassis nor European lithe appearance of high performance cars.

Once you have made the choice not to fix your car, you then have to decide how to dispose of it. You do not want to sell a potentially dangerous vehicle to an unsuspecting person. If that is the case, selling it to a private person should not be an option. That will narrow your choices down to selling it to a used car near me or donating car to charity.

A yard sale or garage sale does require some work before, during and after, but having more space and some spending money makes it worth it. Several websites giving yard sale advice point out an interesting thought to consider: Is the sale to get rid of junk or to make money? The consensus seems to be that if the focus is to get rid of unwanted belongings, the sellers actually make more money. By pricing items to go rather than to profit, sellers generally end up selling more items.
