Before you start looking for buyers, go through the vehicle for any important or valuable personal items. A key element is whether the car is running or not. This can help to determine if it's worth the effort to go further in the cleaning process. A good general wash can either hurt or increase the salvage value, however, most recyclers shouldn't care as it just depends on what they're planning to do with the vehicle. A general scrapper will simply rip everything out to be crushed. Some yards look at the car on a part-by-part basis where the quality of individual elements such as the engine, is important. Those with an eco-friendly vibe may want to remove fluids such as oil, coolant and gasoline as well.

At the government seized auto auctions online, you can browse cars that are in excellent condition and are only a few years old and are also selling for a hundred bucks and up! Really?

Meanwhile, you can still remove the old car by yourself. All you need is to drain all the fluids including the engine oil, brake oil, transmission oil and so on. You can also remove the spare tire and other valuable parts. You can then take the leftover to a good junk yard. You can also save your time and energy by calling the junk yard officials to pick the vehicle. You'll get paid for the vehicle when the team arrives.
