That's not to mention the problem of sharp scrap metal that you often see lying around someone's property. By the way this is VERY common on rural properties, like farms and the like. These sharp metal objects can often cause cuts and lacerations, which can cause the need for stitches, tetanus shots, and at the worst case... death.
Believe it or not, you might be able to sell your used tires. If they are in usable shape, but simply need a patch, a junkyard might be willing to buy them from you in order to repair and then resell them. In fact, you can actually make quite a bit of money selling used tires to the right junkyard if you shop around to find one that will pay a decent price. Some people have used this to bring in a secondary income for their families, placing ads in the local papers collecting other people's used tires for free, and then reselling them to a local 2006 subaru baja.
So, how do you get good spare parts for your automobile at discounted prices? This requires doing some homework of your own. But let's do it together.
Today, everything is computerized with each item stored within a database. Every radiator, passenger seat, water pump, and stereo knob can be accounted for with a few clicks of a button. If you need to find a specific item, you won't be forced to spend hours digging through a dirty lot. Just ask an attendant to check the database. What's more, a lot of salvage yards are now connected through a network. If one location cannot find a component in their database, they can check the databases of other locations.
Don't be greedy. Now, I understand that this is all about getting the top dollar for your car, but, there is a walk-away price for any business. Most salvagers are only willing to pay a little more then half of what they can make off the car. So, if your asking price is more then 65% of what they can make, then they will more then likely walk away from it.
So if you?re looking for auto parts like engines, starters, alternators, bumpers, stereo systems, steering columns, dashboards, doors, exhausts, wheels and tires but don't want to spend lots of money, you can always rely on auto parts from junkyards. Most dealers of these auto parts include inventories of used parts for late models.
Keep in mind that junkyards are similar to swap meets in that most prices are negotiable. This is especially true when you're buying parts that are not in good condition. Ask for a discount or offer a lower price. Junkyards will often agree just to move the inventory. That being said, you can expect to pay nearly half of the cost of a new part. For example, a water pump for a BMW 740i may cost $140 new. Expect to pay $70 (in cash) at the junkyard.
Recycling is one of my favorites. I only hold my scrap for a day and then sell it to the scrap yard the next day. I collect appliances, bed frames, ceiling fans, metal futons,etc.. I pull the copper wire out when it is easy to do because its worth more. I will cover that in another article. Just for scrap mixed metal you get about $6.00 for a 100 pounds. Does not sound like much but it is easy to get a 100 pounds of scrap. For example; a refrigerator, washer, microwave, futon, hot water heater, and five bikes weigh about 800 pounds. That is $48.00 tax free!
You'll want to get a list of junkyards in the area first. Try using a local directory, or a service like Google maps. Then you'll want to head outside and measure your car's tires. This is the most important step for a great fit! Pull out your spare and start measuring that. If you don't have the spare, you can measure a regular wheel.
These auto parts are reliable and guaranteed so you do not need to worry whether they would be good enough for your car or not. They include all types of spare parts of cars, trucks, buses, and motorbikes. Ask for anything, they have it all. Thus, next time when your car breaks down and you need a spare part, do not panic just reach out for auto parts that this brand offers.
