Most people will end up at their local dealership, ordering parts from them. That is of course, after the smelling salts kick in from passing out when shown the cost. It isn’t cheap to buy parts from any car dealership, let alone, Mercedes dealership. There are better places to buy your parts that will not send you into sticker shock.

I like to stop in my local store at least once a week to see what they have.

You can go to main sail and offer to buy any old cast iron radiator they find. You can even approach buildings that are up for demolition. These old apartments are likely to have old radiators that you can use.

Know your salvage cars. Salvage cars are those used cars that have been the subject of an accident, struck by fire, flooded, hit by debris, and have been declared totalled by the last owner’s insurance company. This means that you will have to do some repairs on the car you intend to buy. Therefore, it is best to visit the actual auction so that you can conduct some technical inspection on the car before actually paying for it. Most salvage auto auctions allows you to see, check, and conduct some inspection. This is to show their good faith and to uphold the good name of their company. However, if you have limited knowledge on the technical aspects of a vehicle, it is highly advisable that you bring with you a mechanic to help you check the car.

Well, if this doesn’t work you will have to go by word of mouth. Go seek the information from historical societies or auto mechanics. They may know someone that either now were a salvage WWII vehicle is or have first hand knowledge themselves.

The envelope is usually covered by insurance up to a definite amount by the company who issues the special kit. If you believe the gold you are sending is worth more than the insurance offered, you can also go to some other arrangement with the scrap metal merchant.

The Internet has become a great place through which to find old gold jewelry. However, you need to be careful and make smart decisions. Never send people money before you get a chance to inspect the property. See if it’s real gold and then determine if it’s something you should purchase. It might make sense to get started with people who you can interact with in person in your local community. That decreases your chances of getting into a bad deal.
