For people who do not trust the knowledge of the internet and would rather play safe, the phone directory is a perfect research tool. Phone directories only include certified businesses in their pages, making sure that what you call is not a shady, underground company. Try browsing through the buy-and-sell companies and phone them to inquire about their rates. When you call, provide them with as much information as you can about the car. They will request to view the car or ask you to drive it to their office for checking. Either way, make sure that the car is in good condition so they could give you the best value.

Another important factor is age, which means the older the car is, the less is its value. Since the parts would be in better condition if the car is less than 10-15 years old, the salvage yard tends to pay more for these cars.
