Save Extra Buying Used Car Parts

Determining the type of metal you're dealing with may be as easy as taking a magnet off your fridge. If the magnet sticks to your metal, the metal is ferrous. Ferrous metals include common metals such as iron and steel. Steel can be found in many products, including furniture, cabinets, and more. While steel may not collect much money at the scrap yard, it's important to take such materials to the yard in order for it to be recycled properly.

As for the price of auto parts, aside from the age of the vehicle there is the make and model. In this case foreign car parts are much more expensive than domestically made cars. Most people who buy foreign cars don't realize this or even think about it until it comes time to get their vehicle repaired. Then they get hit with the bill and their eyes pop out of their head. For example, an oil filer for a 2005 Buick Century is about $2.98. The same oil filter for a Honda CRV is $3.98. It's basically the same filter for the Honda but it costs $1.00 more. That comes out to a 33% markup on a relatively cheap part. Imagine that same 33% markup on a part that costs $60 for the Buick. You'd be paying about $80 for the same part for the Honda.

Most scrap yards will not allow you to sell your car to them with a battery in it anyway, however you can sell the car battery separately for more money, if you know where to go, these usually bring between $8.00-$15.00 apiece.

Remember, this was some years ago when there was a LOT MORE competition for scrap due to higher metal prices. Many of the larger refineries on each coast were sending their reps out as "professional buyers" - essentially just what I was doing in the film business. Obviously, it was an expensive proposition to have someone earning a salary and traveling full-time - the cost in overhead is tremendous. NOBODY can afford to hire people to do this today, so there is almost NO competition for this business.

It's a fact that most car owners don't know the things under their car that makes it run. That's why professional service men are hired. They are known as mechanics.
