Get things up off the floor- most garages have great wall space and rafters that are completely underutilized. Hooks, organizers and cabinets do wonders in garages. My FAVORITE organizing products are from Rubbermaid- it's so easy to install (I can hang them), it looks neat and organized, and I get a discount because I'm a P.O.!

Obviously buying used can have a huge cost benefit. Unless local junk yards near me have a rare or high-end luxury or sports car, a salvage yard special will be between $25 and $50. Not bad compared to the cost of a new cooling system from your local dealer.



The curb appeal of your neighbors house is just as important as the curb appeal of your house when you are trying to entice a buyer, especially if the market is hot and they have many homes to choose from.

Once you've decided that are ready to get rid of your car. You may be feeling a little unsure as to where to start. If you're wondering how to scrap a car; there are many resources for you to choose from. The most common option that people choose when junking their car is an auto wrecking yard.

You can help children to have a chance to study in school when you donate car. The profit taken from your donated car can buy them materials for school and with that it can also to help some college students to finish their degree.

Keep in mind that junkyards are similar to swap meets in that most prices are negotiable. This is especially true when you're buying parts that are not in good condition. Ask for a discount or offer a lower price. salvage yards in my area will often agree just to move the inventory. That being said, you can expect to pay nearly half of the cost of a new part. For example, a water pump for a BMW 740i may cost $140 new. Expect to pay $70 (in cash) at the junkyard.

Advertise your car. If you're not satisfied with the offers from the salvage yards, you may be able to make more money by selling it directly. You can advertise on Craigslist or some other website, giving details about your car. Include photos and be honest about the car's condition. Put down an asking prices such as $500 or OBO for "or best offer" and wait for people to contact you. One man's junk is another man's treasure -- you could be holding a classic that would be worth a mint once it has been restored.
