Although buying from a junkyard is an excellent way to save money, there are times when you should not buy used parts. Some parts are more likely to be worn than others, and some are difficult to inspect for condition. Buying these as used parts can be a huge gamble.
Are junkyard prices negotiable?
Junkyards primarily deal with body shops and other rebuilders; many consider individual sales to be too much of a hassle. But some yards are very willing to negotiate with you on price. Especially if you're a regular shopper, and if you're buying a bunch of stuff in a lot, they are likely to be open to negotiation.Feb 27, 2004
