Junk Auto And Earn Easy Money
Once you decide "the time has come to junk my car", you will probably ask yourself where to begin the process. The first step is to decide if you would like to donate your car to charity or if you would rather receive cash for your car. There are benefits to both options. If you choose to donate your vehicle you will receive a $500 tax deduction with no documentation necessary. You can start by calling a few of your favorite charities to see if they have a car donation program. When talking to the charity be sure to verify that they are a 501(C)(3) organization.
Fortunately a heater core isn't all that difficult to change yourself. For most cars, a heater core can be reached by pulling out the dash or checking under the hood adjacent to the firewall, locating the unit, yanking it out, and replacing it with a new one. Naturally, you will pay gobs of money through your dealer's parts department, but you have other options besides visiting the dealer or making a futile trip to your local junkyard: shop the internet.

Since the process is online, you could also look for multiple quotes to ensure you make an informed decision. After all it is just one or two parts; you do not want to land up paying too much money.
Very often our cars become non-functional, even refusing to start. At times such as this, it would be our duty to fix it - but, at the back of our mind we'd be constantly thinking of the costs.

You're going to canvass for the prices. When you've done that and have gone over to your local dealer, be sure to leave your wallet or check book behind. You're not there to buy - yet. Just look around. For most people, this is the best part (or maybe the second best) in buying a car. Used auto search may sound unglamorous but having an idea of what you want and how much it costs ramps up the excitement for some people I know.
Most parts purchased at a Auto Salvage Yard average 50% to 75% less than purchasing directly from a main auto dealer. used auto parts are also many dollars less than Spurious parts (spurious parts - non original parts).
The Salvage Yard. Let's admit it: there isn't anything wrong with going to the junkyard to find the part you need. My '78 VW Rabbit's window handle broke and I snagged one off of a junker for just a few bucks. Still, if you are looking for a radiator, engine, exhaust stuff, or anything else that actually runs, you risk that the part will fail soon after you place it in your car. Naturally, the price you pay through the junkyard should be the lowest price going.
