How to recycle a car yourself

Of course, we are not talking about recycling the car yourself, but about where to go with this issue and what to expect financially. Let's consider the most popular options in order of their benefits for the owner:

• Disassemble the car yourself and sell it in parts. Of course, this is the most profitable (you set the prices yourself), but also the most time-consuming method. It may take months, or even years, before someone buys even half of the parts from you, which by that time will no longer be profitable.
• Sell ​​the entire car for parts. This is the fastest way, and you will receive the money immediately.
• Participate in the dealership's recycling program. In this case, you will not receive any money, but you will have a discount of a certain amount on the cars of the company you contacted.

There is another option - to hand over the car for recycling at a special point. However, if you choose this method, you will not receive any money at all. But this is perhaps one of the few options for those whose car is critically damaged.

Sell ​​your car for parts

The owner of a wrecked car who decides to sell the car for disassembly has two options for the development of events:

• hand over the entire car for disassembly;
• sell the car for spare parts.

The first method is less troublesome and at the same time less profitable. However, the buyers who will come on the day of the call, pay you in and pick up the car, will save you from the need to disassemble the car into parts and will save your time, because it is unknown in what time frame you will be able to sell all the components and assemblies on your own.

When selling a used car for parts, there is a chance to earn more money by selling it, but no one will tell you when you manage to pull it all off. Everything is individual and depends on what damage the car received, on the condition of the spare parts in general, as well as on the operation of the car and the technical condition of the car before the accident. Needless to say, in order to independently disassemble a car into parts and sell them, you need to have a sufficient amount of free time.

If you have a need to sell a car for disassembly at a good price, contact. You can find out from the company’s specialists how much it costs to have your car dismantled, as well as get answers to all your questions. Only the real value of your car

When and where is it more profitable to hand over a car?

Of course, if as a result of an accident or any other accident, the car cannot be restored, it is most profitable to sell it for scrap. However, cars that are still running are often handed over for recycling or scrap. Motorists use them to arrive at delivery points. This happens when people do not see an alternative and do not know other ways to get rid of their old car. But in such cases, it is more profitable to sell the vehicle for spare parts. The price of dismantling a car is lower than if it is sold as a vehicle. But it’s better than getting pennies for selling your car for scrap.

When choosing a method for self-disposal of a vehicle, an adequate assessment of its condition is important. If you doubt that you can do this correctly, seek help from a specialist. If the car is assessed as scrap on wheels, then it must be returned to the address. Then there will be fewer problems, and the money will be about the same as when it was handed over for disassembly.

Which car is suitable for sale for spare parts?

If you still don’t want to spend money on an appraiser and are wondering whether your car is suitable for sale for parts, take into account the following:

• running gears must be serviceable or almost serviceable;
• corrosion should not be too strong;
• a good bonus will be the relevance of this model on the market;
• The more expensive the car, the greater your chances of success.

These are the main factors, but other parameters also matter.

The basic principle according to which the possibility of selling a car for spare parts is determined: the newer the car, the more working parts it contains and the more popular the brand, the more expensive the spare parts can be sold.

The critical feature is the complete destruction of the vehicle.

Sales options in Moscow

There are several ways to independently sell a car for spare parts:

1. Place advertisements for sale on a special website. Selling a car in parts to different buyers can take a very long time, not months, but years. If you’re lucky and a company that sells used parts is interested in your vehicle, the deal can happen quickly. But you can't count on it.
2. For disassembly, go to a car repair shop, which will sell the parts, taking a certain percentage. Sales timing is unpredictable, there is no way to control prices.
3. After several attempts to sell a car for spare parts, many car enthusiasts sell the car for scrap.

In this situation, it is easier to seek help from a specialized company.

How is sale for disassembly carried out?

Before you take your car for disassembly, you should find out where this can be done. In essence, this is a regular car sale, so the circle of potential clients is quite wide. We advise you to place advertisements not only on several online trading platforms, but also in newspapers. Typically, you will be contacted within a day of publication. But, if you don’t want to wait, you can look for advertisements on the same websites and in newspapers - usually buyers of cars for disassembly also make themselves known.

You can also visit the car market and negotiate a deal there. This will be an even simpler way, but most likely less profitable. After all, when inspecting a car, an experienced person will definitely find many flaws, due to which the price will have to be reduced. Although prices largely depend on where you live. For example, prices in Moscow will be higher than in a provincial town. By the way, in the latter there may not be a buyer at all due to the small population, so it is better to advertise in the region.

Once you find a buyer, you should draw up a purchase and sale agreement with him. First of all, the buyer needs this to make sure that you don’t go tomorrow and write a statement about the theft. Once the contract is signed by both parties, the transaction is considered completed and you receive the money. However, an agreement is only necessary if you sell the entire car for parts. If you dismantled the vehicle yourself and are selling it, you do not need to formalize anything.

Difficulties in selling cars for spare parts

To sell a car for spare parts, you need to at least have a good understanding of its design and be able to disassemble the vehicle. And for this you will need a specially equipped room, tools, and skills. Even professionals cannot always cope with this alone. Each detail must be described separately and an advertisement must be submitted for it. Since there are many components in a car, the whole process will require a fair amount of effort and time. Buying cars for spare parts entirely by a specialized company will avoid these problems and earn a decent amount of money from the sale.

Sell ​​the car completely

You can publish an advertisement for sale on the Internet or in local newspapers. There won’t be that many potential buyers, but it will still be possible to sell an old or broken one if you put in some effort. If you sell an entire car for parts, you should first adequately assess its condition in order to set the real price. The advertisement does not give the buyer a complete picture of the item for sale, so the car must be photographed in detail, paying special attention to flaws. Only by assessing the condition of the old car and all its broken places can you get a picture that will correspond to reality as closely as possible. It is also worth noting that the profit from such a sale will be very small, but the seller will spend a minimum of time and effort. It is more profitable to sell all spare parts separately.

Equipment and consumables

As mentioned above, in order to conduct business correctly and comfortably, it is better to immediately have a base (at least a warehouse stock). Therefore, you will need at least one computer. And it’s impossible to reflect everything just on paper. This is not the age now.

Moreover, you need to be constantly in touch. Both with clients and with employees who will work for you. Therefore, make sure to connect to the Internet and at least two phones.

As for consumables, for the first steps of your business, you will need to purchase cars for spare parts. At least two cars. And since your task is to do this as efficiently as possible, that is, cheaper and faster, then monitoring all possible resources is an “urgent” matter. Next, you will be constantly doing this, so you need to get used to it right away and not stop for a moment, conducting the process in parallel with other things. You are not alone in the market. Your competitors are also looking for used cars.

Now parts for cars older than 10 years are gradually being phased out. But they themselves can still be found. Don't miss the opportunity to get one for analysis. In addition to auctions and parking lots with seized cars, do not hesitate to purchase the necessary parts from other suppliers. Often you will be able to resell them.

There is always a chance to run into car thieves who are ready to give you a cheap car, so be careful. Law enforcement agencies will not leave you behind only on the grounds that you did not know about the seller’s dishonesty if they notice such a transaction.

In addition to purchasing parts at local points, you can go abroad. The price tag will not be much more expensive, but the quality may differ significantly for the better.

As with any business, you need to know as much as possible about what you are doing. Decide on the brands you will specialize in and start studying the market. You should know where and how to buy parts for them, and where it is profitable to do so. Where to find rare specimens. What has already been discontinued, what can replace it. What new models are currently being released and are just planned for release. Are they suitable to replace the old ones?
