Whether you drive a four door luxury sedan, a streamlined speed machine or a heavy duty SUV, repairing your vehicle when it is damaged can be expensive. Parts costs are a huge factor in many repairs.

We all like a good deal, but many of us hate to ask for that good deal in-person. If you are the type of person who would rather pay an extra $10 at a yard sale because you are afraid to ask for a discount, Craigslist is best for you. Most buyers and sellers talk via phone or email first. You may find it easier to ask for and score a discount.

So where can you find salvage WWII vehicles? I doubt you will be able to go to your local junk yard and find a old WWII vehicle. These trucks and cars are most certainly long gone. The junk yards are able to get too much of a payoff from these metals to have them just sit around. No, I bet the best place to find these vehicles are in private yards.

Many of the newer vehicles produced today are made from recycled steel that comes from used cars. It is far easier, and environmentally friendly, to use steel already made than produce it brand new.

craigslist cars Auto wrecking yards are businesses that buy cars and process them for the scrap metal. Auto wrecking yards also go by a few other names. Some refer to themselves as auto salvage yards, junk yards, auto wreckers, or auto recycling facilities. Some wrecking yards also sell used auto parts; many yards have their own tow trucks and do their own towing.

Dealership – You might pay a little more for the used trucks here, but you are almost guaranteed to find what you’re looking for. And for some people, the time saved is priceless. Your used heavy truck may also come with a warranty of some sort if you buy it at the dealership.

In addition to having the ability to sell the vehicles to private buyers, you can also take them to salvage yards as well. You will get a scrap price for them, which is different due to market variations that cause the prices to fluctuate regularly. However, there are requirements that must be met when you do this.

If the junk vehicle in your yard is obviously not a classic car but is in decent cosmetic condition, the first thing you should do is see if you can get the car started. In most cases the engine has seized up which could mean it will cost you a lot of money to get it fixed. Contact a mechanic or somebody who knows a lot about cars to see if they can diagnose what is wrong with the vehicle. In most cases they will tell you it needs a new engine and perhaps a new transmission. The cost of buying these parts and installing them will probably far exceed the value of the vehicle. In fact, you might even be able to buy the same vehicle in working condition for far less than it would take you to fix the junk car in your yard. Not to mention that would be far less headache.
