By putting in a little extra effort you can make a little more cash. What used car dealers and car salvage companies do is to farm used and salvaged cars for parts. It is normally repaired and sold for a profit, or your car will be dismantled and the good parts be used to spruce up other cars that have damaged or defective parts. So why not do the deed yourself and make a little more cash with a little effort. Get a mechanic to check the car for parts and get an estimate of the value of the parts based on the condition.
When it comes to car salvage companies, you just can not trust all of them. It is not only because you will not get money by selling your scrap car but also because of another important reason. The reason is that there are lots of companies which don’t use right techniques while disposing of a vehicle. It is your duty to make sure that you are selling your car to those who know how to dispose it of in the right way.

You will be able to find many reputable companies out there on the internet. Basically the reputable companies will require you to show them some sort of documentation that helps to discern that you are the actual owner of the car. Generally you can get $200 or more for your inoperable car. To some, this amount may seem peanuts, but then again such companies may be the only potential buyers of your busted ride.
Another option is to purchase auto parts via the bidding process held by auto parts auctions. Auctions are best known for great bargains. For one is the price control.

For parts that are too large to transport, some kids money would actually haul it for you. Examples of such parts include the hood, trunk lid or roof.

If the price of one junkyard is too high, you can always try another. You are under no obligation to purchase the spare part especially if the terms of purchase do not sit well with you.
