At the end of any given year, car dealers have scores-maybe even hundreds of unsold new cars from the previous year. They need room for the new inventory. Whatever they ask for the earlier models, offer them 30% less for starts. Go from dealer to dealer to look for your preferred brand. When you find the car, and the dealer from whom you intend to purchase the vehicle, go as soon as the dealer opens. Many business people hate to lose the first sale.
Taking care where you walk is definitely a good idea. Junk yards have pre-cleared paths that should be safe to walk on, but if you start wandering off between piles of junk, you could step on something or injure yourself.
There are a lot of dealers who would offer wholesale on these used or damaged cars. Although you cannot inspect each car, you can get a great deal from them. For one, some of the vehicles are only slightly damaged and sold because they have been marked as total losses but in fact, they are as good as new. Another thing is that even if some of the cars are seriously damaged, they can easily be fixed and cleaned up and be resold under the title of damaged vehicles.
But car buyers should be aware that it can be challenging to obtain proper car insurance on a vehicle with such a title. And when it comes to financing, it can also be very difficult to get a loan on this type of title. It is actually best not to get a car that has this type of title.
The rules here and regulations varry with states but majority of the companies agree to give a salvage title to a vehicle with 75% damage. Firstly, you should make sure that the vehicle that you are looking at is not involved in any theft case. Check for the nature of accident this vehicle has gone through.
Once you have the vehicle history report, make sure it has never been an accident salvage car or been a past insurance write-off. Also, take note if there was a recall on your car or truck for that specific year, as you will need to get a recall clearance letter before you arrive up at the border. Contact the manufacturer to get this document.
I heard a story years ago about a housing development on the east coast that was built over an old Junk yard. Tons of tires were buried deep in the soil and the developers figured they were deep enough that they'd never rise to the surface. They were wrong however and one day the happy new homeowners were struck by the sight of tires rising up their new yards.
