As part of promotional events, a parade of antique car is sometimes organized. If you have a unique one, you can offer to drive it in a parade for a small fee. It is also a good way for your antique car’s engine to breath, at the same time a chance to show your pride and joy. You can also give your old car a trip at fairs and outdoor events, with fees for, say for example a five minute ride.

Sometimes you can save money by using used parts rather than new ones. Some garages will have contracts or partnerships with junkyards where they can get used parts. Ask whether or not this option exists. Not all garages have it, but if your budget is tight you might want to look for one that does. Keep in mind that you may not be able to find a used part for your particular vehicle, even if the garage offers this option, because you will be limited to the stock on hand in the junkyard.

You may be able to find used car parts on the internet. Shop online and do some research on installing the part as well. You may be able to save money on the purchase of the used car part, as well as save money on labor if you know how to install the part yourself. When you conduct your search online, don’t forget to include the make and model of your car.

Avail car club membership: If you own a classic car, it is better to join any car club for replacement of its auto parts. You may not get the parts easily on the market other than the car club for classic cars. General auto stores do not keep stock of old parts. The car club provides the members with many resources for replaceable parts of classic automobiles. Here, you may reach the right person, who uses the same classic car as yours through the car club membership for further information.

Auto parts from junkyards have been salvaged from wrecked vehicles. These include used body, electrical and engine parts. Most of them are also available as auto parts that you can readily install to your vehicles. They are pre-cleaned, conditioned, inspected and tested to assure quality.

selling options A few great tips when buying at online auctions: look for auctions that are only a few hours from ending. This is the best gauge for what the final price of that car will be. Also, if you are bidding on a fresh auction, do not overshoot the price. Bid shyly, so that the price will not go sky high.

Junk yard jewels. I have a buddy who likes to go to the junk yard to find replacement parts for his vehicles. He doesn’t always find what he wants, but he has been able to pull several starters off from some of the junkers. Some work, some don’t while others may work for awhile and then crap out a few months later. If you have plenty of time and luck is on your side then this can be an option for you.
