Auto Draft



B. Car dealers or mechanics – Often car mechanics owning a garage of their own, are on the lookout for used cars. They tend to buy these cars at a lower price from the owners and make repairs in them and then sell them off to potential buyers at higher prices. You can contact such car dealers and make a deal with them.

Air Conditioning Compressors bring a few bucks too… Most cars that I scrap out have the air conditioning compressor just below the alternator. So while you’re right there, you might as well take out the four screws holding it in place (most models) while you’re at it. That will add an additional $3.00-$8.00 profit for you.

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.

Finally, the the car is priced higher than cash down value. For example in a zero percent scenario, the car is offered at say $100,000 on display for 2 years to pay having a monthly payable amount of $4,166. The $100,000 price is actually still higher than the actual value of the car. The car dealers usually know that the car value is only say $70,000 but if offered at zero percent credit, they would price it at $100,000.

junk yards that buy cars could drive your vehicle to a used car lot and say “I want to sell my car for cash now.” That may very well get you the cash you want, assuming the dealer is interested. It will be up to you to entice him if this is the selling option you choose. To do that, you’ll need to drive up in a clean car that runs good and hopefully has a complete set of maintenance records. That is what it will take to get an offer from the dealer. Keep in mind that you might get a good price – just not as good as you would if you tried to sell the car yourself. That’s the trade-off you make.

With so many people out there looking to buy used cheap car, you should have no problem finding someone that is interested in your car. You first need to look at car trade value online and official used car quotes online. This will allow you the chance to know exactly what you can and can’t get for your car. You want to make sure that you are making decent profit but you also want to make sure that you are being fair. If you aren’t being fair, no one will offer you anything for the car.

It is always a good idea to junk those cars, which are no longer in a drivable condition and earn from them. Junkyards take vehicles that are in the worst possible condition which is why this is the best option for people who own vehicles that have been dented from all areas and are a major embarrassment to drive. Dealers can easily be found online who would be willing to buy them and offer sell your junk car. They would also provide you with a price quote and offer, which you would not be able to get if you were to try to sell the vehicle elsewhere. Hence junking your vehicle will give you some money rather than a very low amount, which is what you would get if you would actually try to sell the vehicle to an actual customer.

Most insurance companies will give you a discount if you have car alarm, if you park your car in a garage not on the street, if you have a tracking device. The discount varies depending on what theft prevention item you have.

You cannot expect to sell a car at a good price if the engine is falling apart due to the lack of maintenance! Follow the repair schedule closely and make sure that you keep all bills. If you aren’t sure of when you should bring your car in for maintenance, you can either check the owner’s manual for a list; there is usually one a t the end of it. Else, speak to your mechanic.

Pat yourself on the back and know that by you junking your car you are in actual fact earning yourself some well earned cash and at the same time helping the environment.
