Start by locating and contacting junkyards local to you, give them a list of the items that work, plus the other information. Find out what each is willing to pay, once you've done this decide which one is best. Things to consider may be if they will pick it up for free or if you need to get it to them, way the cost versus sell price to come up with the best deal for you.
Maybe you are the do-it-yourselfer. Then salvage title cars are just for you. You can get excellent deals on cars and feed your addiction to cars by fixing it up. You can even get parts from your dealer or from a local salvage yard.
Now find a spot on your car where you can place the trolley jack under. Many cars will have the spot diagrammed in the owner's manual if not the frame is a sturdy place to use. If you haven't worked on your car or if it's a rental check in the glove box to see if the manual is laying around. Also sometimes withauto parts open near methat came from the car there will be directions on where to jack the car at.
If you are unable to find a suitable buyer who is willing to purchase your car for the amount you are selling it for, the last resort would be to sell a car to the auto parts in my area. The reason behind this option being the last resort is because the amount of money you will get from selling a car to the junkyard is going to be a bare minimum especially in comparison to the amount of money you could earn from the above mentioned methods.
Your car's overall exterior condition needs to look younger or at least not older than it actually is. If you car is 10 years old, it is understandable that there is a little rust and a few scratches, but it is not OK if the bumper is missing! Put yourself in someone else's shoes and ask yourself 'would you buy your car?'. Windshields are a value killer. If there is a crack in the windshield, no matter how small it is, you have to figure the price of a new windshield will be deducted from your trade-in price.
When you select used cars, make sure you get the Vehicle History Reports. All you need to do is get the VIN or the License Plate number and the State Information. You can get the reports by filling a request application on websites like Carfax and AutoCheck. Never take a decision without knowing all about the car's history and the title. The car may look good to you but might have been flooded. So, do a thorough research and avoid the mistake of careless and incomplete research.
