Only call the salvage yard as a last resort. Salvage yards are only willing to give you the minimum for your junk car. For obvious reasons. They receive calls all the time from people that want to get rid of their cars for a buck. You are no different. They are in the position to make the rules.
I have bought and sold thousands of junk cars, and just to be honest about it, several of the cars I have bought, were not “junk cars” at all. The owner simply wanted to get rid of the car, so to the owner it was a 2015 chevy cruze oil filter, however for me buying it, definitely NOT a junk car! On many occasions I have immediately sold the car for somewhere between 2-3 times what I had paid for it in mere minutes of the transaction.
In order to sell my car, I first did it the normal way and advertised in the newspaper. I also placed some advertisements on the internet, on a few good websites and waited patiently to hear something from potential buyers. I had to look up different advertisements which were selling a car that was the same as mine. This helped me to get a good idea of what price I should ask for and what the market rate was. Quoting a price in the advertisement and putting a picture, really proved to be helpful because a lot of people read my advertisement regarding the sale of my car and responded.
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.
Other unfortunate incidents like an accident may render a car completely useless. Sometimes a car can be damaged in an accident beyond repair. The thing to do then is to get in touch with the insurance company of the car and get as much cash as possible and then get the car repaired. That is a very strenuous process and technical glitches will appear from time to time. The best thing to do with a car which gets heavily damaged in an accident is to sell it off in a junkyard. The seller can get a desirable amount of cash for junk cars and can get a brand new one. The buyer also sells the parts of the damaged car to his profit.
If you can’t sell your parts through the normal venues, you’re going to have to be creative. If you’ve got parts that are worth some money, and in excellent condition, try putting a note on community bulletin boards in stores, the library, or wherever you can put one up. Online bulletin boards for your area are also good places to list car parts for sale. If you post your name, number, city, and your make and model year, you might connect with a mechanic who’s been searching for your exact item. If your parts are the only ones around, you can make some good money.
