If you don’t have a title for the vehicle, you will need one of the following documents to sell the automobile: an auction sales receipt, a mechanic’s lien, a salvage lot lien, or a repossession affidavit. A salvage lot can provide you with information on how to acquire these documents.

Buy from the right auto parts store. If you aren’t in the know it’s quite difficult to spot a good store from a bad one. A good auto parts store will clearly display their contact details as well as displaying details about their stock. They should display which models they supply stock for and everything should be priced. The typical worker should know the stock inside and out and should know exactly what you need.

Now there are thousands of different companies set up all over the world that help people get rid of their old junk cars by paying them cash and taking it from them. These companies then break the junk cars down to retrieve whatever spare parts remain inside them in working condition. They sell these spare parts further ahead to different automobile companies like garages and repair workshops. These companies have huge crushers and melting pots in which they send the metal of the junk cars to first have it all crushed down and then melted. This melted metal is then sold by these companies to other factories and manufacturers who need it in their production lines. This is where the business of car companies runs on a day-to-day basis.

Just think of what your car can accomplish once you are rid of it. It can become the source of endless spare parts, for people who still have functional versions of the same car. It can be used by a crane operator who really liked those Newton’s cradles people used to have (where they metal balls hit each other, sending energy back and forth), as a way of relieving both boredom and stress. And it can also be used by that amazingly enterprising car buff, who will tow it home and turn it into the car of his or her dreams.

The first thing when you get down to it and even before you touch any other part of the car you should remove all kinds of fluid from the car. This includes wiper fluids from the windshield, brake fluid, transmission fluid, oil, and radiator fluid. After you’re done with that you can remove the battery, the radiator cover and the radiator itself. Next you should remove the brake fluid container, the carburetor, the starter, the distributor cap, the air filter, and the spark plugs. You should also ensure that you have removed all wires. Next you should remove the engine, the exhaust system, the transmission, the seats, door panels, carpeting, dashboard, and steering wheel.

If the car is running it may be cost-effective to drive it around to local recyclers to gauge the general selling price. If it is unable to be driven, many scrap yards offer towing services and are willing to visit the location of the vehicle and perform an inspection there. Calling around and giving recyclers a general idea of the vehicle works just as well since most of them have preset prices based on a per-pound scale. An extra tip is to try and locate salvage yards that specialize in that particular brand or model. If all else fails then there’s the internet.

What about the wheels? I am not referring to steel wheels in this case. I am referring to “Alloy Rims,” or “Aluminum Rims” sometimes just called “Rims,” or “Custom Rims.” Those can fetch a very handsome profit for you also. A standard set of four alloy rims can usually bring around $75.00, however a set of four custom rims can bring much more, I have sold a set of four custom rims for over $200.00 before.

Decide what you want to spend for the part before you go. This can keep you from overspending on your budget. Sometimes these vacavillenissan have staff who will pull the part or get it off a shelf. If you know what you want to spend it will help you determine if you want it from this place at all. Also, find out what they will charge you for it if you find it and pull it yourself. You don’t want to go through the hassle only to leave it behind because their prices are out of reach.

I swapped it for a Jag MkII 2.4 Auto. Sparkly white (down to the waist), red interior, steering that would require a gorilla to move at rest. As long as I was careful to park it so that the lower half was not visible it was quite impressive. A friend’s father had the bizarre belief that a person’s driving skill was directly connected to the type of vehicle he drove. So overnight I had gone from Muppet to superstar. In his opinion!
