One of the classic stories about my dad is his first vehicle. Because his mom certainly could not afford to buy him a car, and the money he made on side jobs and summer employment was not going to get him a car, he got very crafty. He went to the junkyard, bought four junk vehicles, and took the good parts to form one working vehicle. Every time he needed maintenance done, he would go to the toyota of atlanta and either find the part in good condition or refurbish a semi-decent part. Through all this work, he became very good at truck repair, which made him very proud. He tells stories about cruising around town with his brother in tow like the two of them were the president and vice president in this beat up old Ford.
Two months again passed and David called and said, “I need to see you today.” He proceeded to tell me about a Car Wash Soap manufacturing company that was suppose to be making $500,000 profit per year. The asking price was $2 Million. David wanted several things from me. He wanted my opinion of the business, he wanted me to help get the price down to a more reasonable amount and he wanted me to verify the income. It took me 30 hours of reviewing the books and talking to the seller to determine that the business was making only $350,000 per year including what was not on the books. The books were made complicated, intentionally so that no one could understand what was going on.
Aside from the metal parts, tires, belts and rubber hoses can also be turned in. Even if you think that those old tires could not make it down another mile of road, you can bring them out to the recycling center and give them the opportunity to be transformed into something different.
Truthfully, used car parts will save you money. Obviously it is cheaper than buying brand new car parts, but do you think you’ll be getting the same quality? That is something you should be concerned about. Fortunately, most auto parts recyclers will offer a warranty with their parts. They also have a full database which makes it much easier, and quicker to locate parts than at a dealership. Even if they don’t have the part you need, they can get it to you pretty quickly.

Lessons One and Two: I have yet to see an efficient “professional buyer” of ANY type of scrap. They are getting paid for results which means buying in quantity, which means going where the biggest and most numerous accounts are located. Even then, they use a ‘shotgun’ approach. Secondly, whoever shows up with cash in hand first gets the scrap. The people you buy from want CASH, not the bother of mailing or shipping their scrap materials to a buyer who “may” send them a check. Regardless of the amount of scrap they have, it is but a small percentage of their business – it is GRAVY to them!
