Old Car
Sooner or later, everyone has a car that needs to be sold so that they can make room for a newer automobile. Sometimes that car is so old and worn out that it can't be sold for transportation. When this happens, the car is sold for parts, which will be used by people with similar cars in need of repair. This is easier to do for those living in Toronto. The city, located in the Canadian province of Ontario, has an abundance of places to sell an old car for parts, making it easier to sell junk cars than any other place. If you have an old car taking up space at your home, follow this quick guide to learn sell it for parts in Toronto.
Instructions
1. Consider taking your old car to an auto dealership in Toronto. There are several auto dealers in Toronto who will accept any car as a trade-in, whether it runs or not. These dealers will sell the car for scrap and put your behind the wheel of a new vehicle. This is usually the easiest way to get rid of your old car if you are planning on getting a new car anyway. A list of auto dealers in Toronto can be found in the Resources section, below.
2. Find out how much local scrap yards in Toronto will give you for your old car. Most scrap yards pay you according to the weight of the raw metal. Most cars are sold at a rate of $100 per ton, although this may vary from year to year, depending on the demand for scrap steel. Some scrap yards will then sell individual parts from the car, while others will simply crush the car and mark it to be melted as recycled scrap metal. A list of scrap yards in the Toronto area can be found in the Resources section.
3. Consider selling your car to Green Car Auto Recycling. This company is similar to other scrap yards in Toronto. However, this company will tow your old car away for free, and advertises that they will beat any other price quote. So if you are not happy with the price quoted by the scrap yards in the previous step, you have at least one option of someone who will beat that rate. You can contact Green Car Auto Recycling by calling (416) 881-4832 or by visiting them online at the Green Car Removal website.
4. Place a classified advertisement in the local newspapers. There are twenty newspapers in Toronto that offer a classified section. A list of these can be found in the Resources section. Try posting an ad in the Car Parts section of the classifieds. You can also carry the ad in the Cars For Sale section, as long as you are very clear in stating that the car is being sold for parts.
5. Post a copy of your classified advertisement on the craigslist website. The craigslist website is essentially an Internet classifieds portal. The website is divided geographically, and Toronto has it's own page on the site. Posting your announcement to the Cars area of this site will help draw attention to the old car you are trying to sell. The ad is not only free to post, but can also contain photographs so that a potential buyer can see exactly what they will be buying.
