Ensure that the car was not too badly damaged. Some cars after being totaled undergo rebuilding or extreme modifications. If this is the case with the car of your desire, do not buy it. This can pose a serious problem in terms of safety, licensing and insurance.
Before you toss your junker, clunker or otherwise malfunctioning car to the wind, consider this: it may be worth money. That’s right, your decrepit old jalopy can put some cash in your wallet if you put some strategy in place to get rid of it. Read on and we’ll look at some options you have to selling that old car.
Perhaps the best place to find information and great deals on motorcycle parts is the Internet. Get on the Internet and do a search for the exact part that you need. Look at some of the online shops that are selling the part that you need to get a good idea of the price range that retailers are charging. You can also take this opportunity to print out pictures and information about the part, in case you go shopping at brick-and-mortar stores instead of online. Take this opportunity to look online for the nearest motorcycle dealers, parts shops, and junkyards in chicago in your area.
What should you fix? If your car has a major problem like a blown engine or transmission then you may want to sell for parts to an individual or auto salvage yard. Here it will bring only a fraction of what a similar running auto would bring. If it has a safety problem like bad brakes or inoperable wipers I would fix them before selling the car. Little things like a cigarette lighter not working should be mentioned, but are not that important.
The used auto parts can also be purchased from stores which specialize in selling only used auto parts. Most towns and cities have such stores. Many of these stores, both offline and online, also provide warranties. Their sales staff would help you to chose the required auto part if you have any confusion over it.
Craigslist.org – If you are running a commercial construction business in your area, chances are you have at least one competitor (if not 12). Your competition might be in a position to unload some of their vehicles, and Craigslist is a good place for them to advertise the sale (mostly because it’s local and free).
