Where can I buy salvaged vehicles?

[Tractorman]

Just curious, since most junk yards I know won't allow you to buy them complete. I would like to get one for a project next summer, possibly this winter.

Browse your local Craigslist, I've seen wrecked trucks or ones with bad motors or whatever come up cheap and the best part is, you'd get a clean title most of the time.

Or get a dealer license, I don't think they cost much, so you can hit the auctions. There's one near me that that's all they sell.

check with your state. It is free in Michigan but you have to be bonded and insured which isn't cheap and you have to have a lot with so much pavement (if I remember right it worked to enough to park one car on).


its better to have a friend that has a dealer's license.

I am thinking of doing the same thing. I found a dealer on CL that rebuild cars and sells them. He is looking for a ranger for me thru Copart and I will buy it from him for the auction price plus. $300. In my state I think it takes a fair amount of effort and money to be a dealer. I only want the one truck so for me the best way is to pay the $300. I have looked on some of these sites and the prices are crazy. I did not look on the one posted in this thread but I will check it out

I have looked on erairables before I think for the most part they ask to much. I will go with my methods. Some states don't require a license to go to the salvage auctions

an auction about 5 miles from me has a "free to the public" auction every friday night. heck, theres a 94 eddie bauer explorer that's been sitting out there for a couple months. rules are pretty lenient, the vehicle has to be able to move to the block under its own power. i've seen quite a few rigs with some "project potential". (like a 65 fairlane v-8 with a straight body that i got outbid on)

I was browsing my local Craigslist earlier in search of some stuff...

Who needs an auction when you have the list I have available... I lost count of the number of Rangers in easily fixed condition for under a grand, not to mention a number of fullsize trucks for under 15 hundred. And the BIIs that are dirt cheap. And the Explorers that need stupid simple stuff going for $600. Wish I had my shop built and a big wad of cash...

its called "Jonesboro Auto Auction." If you Google it, it gives you an address in Wiener. Thats incorrect. Its right off 63N leaving Jonesboro toward Bono (Dan Ave. Exit). All you need is a Driver's license and back account # to get a bid card.
