Parts cars are sometimes the best and least expensive way to get all the parts you need to repair the salvaged car, truck or motorcycle all in one shot.  Most of the time it is cheaper to build one complete vehicle out of 2 or more parts cars.  If the parts car is local and you have the means to pick it up, these can go very cheap on eBay.  You have to be prepared though...

First of all it is a parts car so don't expect to drive it back home or drive it ever for that matter so you will need to make arrangements to get it home.  Getting a BMW parts car for a steal of a deal is no good if you bust the budget shipping it home.  Best experience I've had is to have a list of parts I need for a restoration or rebuild of a project vehicle: car, truck or motorcycle.  Once you have your full list you can shop for parts cars that match your list and criteria rather then sourcing all the required used auto parts seperately. 

eBay is by far the best place to find great deals on parts cars.  The selection of parts car auctions is great and changes daily so you can keep coming back or set alerts to receive updates and summaries of new listings.  When shopping from eBay, make sure you have all the details of the vehicle BEFORE you bid.  Once you bid and win it is a binding contract.  There are some good eBay stores that sell parts cars with no reserve that sell for very reasonable and sometimes unbelievable prices.  These stores are nice to keep in your favorites as they sell volume so deals are there to be had.

Take a look through our indexed eBay parts cars and salvage projects.  You never know what you'll find.  The last parts car I bought through eBay was a Jeep Wrangler I wanted for the frame.  I got the straight frame I wanted and parted out the rest through eBay.  I actually made a profit selling off the Jeep parts I didn't want or need.  So what are you waiting for?  Happy Parts Car hunting!
