What Can You Save From Your Wrecked Car?
Make money from your worry…
We all have accidents from time to time in our car. We may reverse into a bollard or maybe bump the kerb with our wheels as we're parking but occasionally you will have a proper accident. If it's bad enough you may damage your car to such an extent that it is not worth fixing. This is generally referred to as being 'written off' as the mechanic or whoever writes on a form that your car is now no longer a car and is instead just 'a wreck'. <br/><br/> You may at this point be a bit upset and feeling bad that you have just driven a few thousand pounds of your hard earned cash into the back of a double decker bus while you were busy changing CDs, but don't be too downhearted as you can salvage a great deal of your car and sell it to make some of your money back. <br/><br/> Here are some of the things you should be able to get money for: <br/><br/> Wheels and Tyres <br/><br/> Unless you were on the way to get your bald tyres replaced at a garage, chances are that they will still be road worthy, plus wheels are wheels and can be fitted on another car of the same model. Depending on how scuffed your wheels are, what size they are the level of wear on your tyres you should get good money for them, and of course multiplied by the number of wheels on your car. <br/><br/> Battery <br/><br/> Again unless it is a frothing old number, your battery will probably be perfectly good and can be sold to a scrap merchant. The same goes for any intact performance car parts, especially Mitsubishi Evo parts you might have. They buy all kinds of bits of cars because this is where people tend to go to get them. This is because scarp merchants would at one stage just have taken every car and sold the metal and chucked the rest before the realised that they could sell all the left over bits individually…a bit like what you're doing now. <br/><br/> CD Player <br/><br/> Most modern cars now have CD/Radio systems in them as part of an entertainment system. These are right in the drivers compartment of the car so are normally well protected from any impact. You can easily remove these with a couple of sticks of metal that pop into slots on the side, releasing the whole thing. You can easily sell these online as they are normally all a standard size so can bit fit into any car. However, so factory CD players cannot be removed. <br/><br/>
