Do certain places buy car parts?

p to the e · 2019-07-04 14:42:03

Sorry if in the wrong forum. My boss was clearing out his attic and asked me if I wanted a load of old parts he bought and never used. Mostly lights for an Audi A1. Before I go searching I was wondering do motor factors or scrap yards tend to buy car parts in bulk?

Scrap dealers will want them for next to nothing. Most motor factors probably won't take them as a policy as they are technically second hand.

You might be better off advertising them yourself on the likes of adverts or ebay.

I've thrown a few ads up a few weeks back but no biters yet. Have to get rid of them soon so a scrap dealer may be better than nothing.

Thanks. Wasn't sure if car parts could go in there.

Realistically it’s not going to sell here on boards, or even adverts or donedeal. eBay is your best bet IMO.
