Obviously the less damaged the car is the easier it will be to fix, however, the more expensive it will be. You want to look for vehicles with body damage and preferably in the backend. Do note, that any car that has been in an accident will most likely need engine repair. The jolt from the impact often shakes parts loose and possibly damages them.

Other unfortunate incidents like an accident may render a car completely useless. Sometimes a car can be damaged in an accident beyond repair. The thing to do then is to get in touch with the insurance company of the car and get as much cash as possible and then get the car repaired. That is a very strenuous process and technical glitches will appear from time to time. The best thing to do with a car which gets heavily damaged in an accident is to sell it off in a junkyard. The seller can get a desirable amount of cash for 1993 buick lesabre and can get a brand new one. The buyer also sells the parts of the damaged car to his profit.

You can generate a better return if the car has some custom parts or if it’s a popular vintage or a highly popular commercial model which will be farmed for parts.

Before you remove the bed, either off of a truck at the junkyard or off of your personal truck, there are a few things you need to do first. Unbolt the gas cap and line first. Almost every truck has the fuel access running into the bed of the truck, so that is where you typically start first. After that, you need to remove the grounding strap that goes from the cab of the truck to the bed. Both of these items are easy to remove. As well, you need to disconnect the light from the back of the truck bed. The lights should have some quick disconnect places so that they can be disconnected with little effort.

First Up. When you find the salvage motorcycle that you want, make a good sized bid. Enough to make the other bidders think your pocketbook is endless and you are determined to get the bike at all costs. (They don’t know that you have a budget and we’re not going to tell them.) A bid like this will make the timid buyers drop out and the more experienced buyers think it’s not worth the trouble to bid against you, as you are a “crazy” bidder. This strategy has worked for me many times. I am constantly amazed by how easily people are fooled by this. Sometimes no one bids against me at all and I get the item for half of my initial limit!

Don’t forget the Radiator and Condenser..The radiator and condenser are often overlooked, because they are a bit of pain to take out, on some models. That being said, they are a nice source of profit for you, should you decide to extract them. Some radiators are made from copper, those are by far, the most valuable ones… if you know how to clean them up right. The radiator and condenser should bring you about $4.00-$20.00 depending upon whether it’s all aluminum, or aluminum and copper.
