If you have a car that has lost the vast majority of its value over time, then you're probably wondering how you'll ever be able to afford a new one. You might not have the option of selling this vehicle privately or even of trading it in. The good news is that there are a number of feasible and easy ways to get money for cars that are no longer working.

There are many companies that take non-functioning autos apart and then sell their individual components. This is called parting vehicles out and when done properly, it can be quite profitable. If you have mechanic skills and tools, there is also the option of parting your own vehicle out.

Handling this project for yourself is definitely the surest way to maximize your returns from this effort. Keep in mind, however, that the work is far from easy. Moreover, the work area can get quite messy as well. You will need high-powered mechanics' tools and equipment and a large, open work space in which oil spills and other leaking automotive fluids will not be a problem.

One common alternative is to sell non-functional autos to companies that do the parting out for you. When your vehicle isn't running, this is the best way to get cash for it given that you won't have to do any hard labor yourself. You won't make as much money, but it is going to be a lot easier to get the profit you seek.

Salvage yards and independent, online parts sellers are often willing to make offers on vehicles even if they aren't running. If your automobile has been in a devastating accident, however, finding a willing buyer will prove much harder. In these instances, your best bet may be to work with recycling companies that want the available raw materials.

Salvage yards are equipped to pull parts when buyers request them. They also have lots of land on which to store the vehicles that they buy. This means that they do not have to strip components off and sell them immediately.

If this method of selling your vehicle sounds appealing, reach out to several local companies to request a quote. This is something that many businesses can do over the phone or online. They will base their sales offers on the age of the vehicle in question, its make, model and condition. The more rare that an auto is, the more valuable its working components will ultimately be. This makes it important to spend time researching the rarity and value of your auto before selling.

After you have accepted an offer from a parts supplier or salvage yard, you can schedule a pickup time for your care. At the time of pickup, you will have to legally transfer the title to the buyer. If the car no longer runs, the the buyer will bring a tow truck. At this time, you may be given a cash payment or you may receive a digital transfer of funds. There are also companies that put checks of these transactions in the mail.
