Some people are nervous about answering the door for strangers, or you may just happen by while the owner is away. If this happens, just leave a card on the vehicle in question and write an offer on the back. As always use common sense and don’t enter yards that are posted with No Trespassing signs or other deterrents.

A great source of cheap car parts can be found at a scrap yard. This is where people take their cars when they are nearing the end of their life so that they can be officially taken off the road and so that the owner no longer has to pay road tax. The owners of the scrap yard will strip down each car, keeping parts that still work and crush the rest and sell it. If you need a specific part it can be worth your while phoning round all the scrap yards in your area and finding out if they have what you need. If they do they will be able to sell it to you at a reasonable price.

The prerogative of crediting firms is to sell the car or put it up for auction, so they can garner profits. Your job is to beat your creditor to it, and then present a convincing case. In other words, you still have a shot at claiming your car, if you promise to pay your dues within a few days and of course deliver.

Before you get down to finding a scrap yard, there are things you must do to ensure that you squeeze out the last bit of profit you can make out of your scrap car. After all, why let some one else profit out of your car, if there is any money in the car it is only fair that you should make it. Scrap car yards have no requirement for anything that is not metal, they want only metal and anything else will only bring down the money you make out of it. So before you send your car over to the yard you should dismantle it and remove everything that is not metal. And, while you’re at it you should also remove those parts that you think you could sell through ebay.

Keep in junk yards near me 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.

For example, a water pump for a BMW 740i may cost $140 new. Expect to pay $70 (in cash) at the junkyard.
