I have had the same car for the last 18 years. I didn't see the point in buying a new car if mine only needed minor repairs. However, recently my luck changed and my car had major engine problems. It didn't make sense to spend more on repairs than the car was worth. And likewise, no one would buy the car because it needed more in repairs than the car was worth. I had to decide what to do with the car. I had seen those signs saying they would buy junk cars, so I gave them the car. I was happy that I did. I created this website to answer the questions you may have about this process. Learn how the process works, how much you can expect and what paperwork you need to fill out to recycle an old junk car.

Used auto parts will always have value to someone. Either a car enthusiast or an automotive restoration expert will have need of used auto parts. If you have quite the collection of used auto parts and you are adding more and more to it by the day, the week or the month, you may need to consider why you have so much. Here are three benefits to hoarding used auto parts from a collector's perspective, and how you can teach and inform others about your extensive collection.
Resale Value
Used auto parts all have a resale value. The best way to collect used parts is to collect ones that people may be desperate to get their hands on, such as used parts for a '66 Shelby. If you can focus on creating a collection of used car and truck parts surrounding rare, hard to find, and often sought after parts with a solid resale value, then that is a collection worth owning and amassing because you can eventually sell it all for a hefty price.
Parts Are Rescued from Utter Destruction
Often, salvage vehicles sit in the open air in an auto yard rusting away until they no longer have any value or use and then they are crushed, melted down and recycled for new cars and metal products. The unfortunate thing is that some of these cars and their parts could have been saved and reused, but are lost to the ravages of time. When a car restoration expert or car hobbyist comes looking for parts, he or she cannot find them because they were crushed and melted down recently. By saving certain parts, you are preserving them under a roof that the salvage yards cannot provide for the vehicles that arrive there.
You Learn to Rebuild All Kinds of Engines and Cars
Collecting used parts is not just the singular hobby but an addition to rebuilding engines and cars, then you have immediate access to your vast inventory of parts. When you absolutely cannot find a part you need, you can fashion one from similar parts in your stock. Additionally, a rebuilt engine or a completely rebuilt and rare vehicle is worth even more than just rare parts, so your collection becomes the foundation of a major money-making operation as well as a hobby. Just make sure you plan ahead for your collection and the engines and cars you work on so that you have enough room to store all those used auto parts, car bodies and shells.
