These Car Parts Are Worth A Surprising Amount Of Money

All automobile enthusiasts should know that cars have more value than what's quoted on the sticker or resale listing. Vehicles are made up of many accessories and parts, all of which serve different purposes and come with corresponding values. Some of these are important utility parts that can fetch you a good amount if you plan to sell them off, while others are fancy accessories that might be overheads for you but can be sold at a good price to others. Here are some surprising car parts that might be worth a pretty penny. Let's dive in to this list to find out more.

Bumpers fall into the "safety" department in automobiles, which means that they are pretty valuable when compared to other car parts. If you look around, you'll find a lot of cars that look good but have bumpers that are cracked, scratched, or simply faded. This means a lot of people will look to buy new bumpers.

If your car's bumpers are in good condition, you can make a few hundred dollars from them. The amount depends on the year, model, and make of your car.

GPS systems in a car aren't yet obsolete and if your car has one, it's definitely an advantage for the next buyer. You can easily charge an extra hundred or two hundred bucks for it when you're selling the car.

If your airbags were never used, there's great news for you! This means that you never got into a big accident and also that you'll be able to sell them. Some people look for unused airbags for their older cars, as installing brand new ones can be a costly affair. The installation alone can run nearly $1,000.

ADVERTISEMENT

Your unused airbags can fetch you roughly $200. The main thing to point out to potential buyers is the safety and of course, the cost of brand new airbags.

While we all know that an old car's doors can be sold as scrap, don't make that mistake. If your car is old and you're planning to sell off all the parts, the doors can fetch you a really good amount.

ADVERTISEMENT

Doors are much more than entryways to the car. They contain window controls, lock and unlock functions, mirror controls, etc. All of these components can be sold off separately. Try and look for someone with the same car so that it is easier to sell the entire door. If not, its time to part the parts!

Catalytic Converters

Catalytic converters are of great significance to any car. They are made of precious metals such as platinum, rhodium, or palladium which makes the resale value quite high. Since their function is to lower the harmful fumes emitted by a vehicle, car owners are always looking for them.

ADVERTISEMENT

If your catalytic converter is in excellent condition, the chances of it selling at a high price are very good. It is important to keep checking on it and maintaining it from time to time.

Fenders generally come to mind only when your car is brand new or when it has been damaged. Fenders protect the wheels and some parts of the undercarriage of your car. In newer cars, replacing fenders is an expensive affair. The fenders and bumpers come connected and buying new fenders means buying new bumpers too, whether needed or not.

ADVERTISEMENT

This is good for all those people who want to sell their fenders because buyers will have to purchase both.

Radiator

If you're wondering what a radiator's worth could be, honestly, it isn't all that much. However, it does have some value since it is made of aluminium. It can be sold at a car parts recycling facility or a scrapyard. Also, since it is placed right behind the grille, it is easily removable as well.

ADVERTISEMENT

When you're all set to remove your radiator to sell it, know that you will have to remove the coolant first after draining it out. Once that's done, you can contact a recycling facility near you.

Hood

Hoods are the tough shields at the front of our cars. Designed to absorb damage, they're one of many safety measures in a car. This also means that the damage that the hood takes is frequently not repairable. If you've been lucky enough to have avoided any bump-ups, it is likely that your hood is in decent condition.

ADVERTISEMENT

You could easily sell it off to a car owner that needs it, car parts recycling facilities, or websites that deal in selling of automobile parts. The better the condition of your hood, the bigger the price you can ask!

Windshield

Windshields can get broken easily. They're made of tough glass, of course, but glass is glass and the greater the impact, the higher the chances of it being cracked or broken. The good news is that this has opened a whole new market for auto glass replacement.

ADVERTISEMENT

Your buyers will be mostly those who don't have adequate insurance to replace their broken windshields. The shipping costs of glass are on the higher side so the best thing to do would be to find a buyer nearby.

Headlights And Tail Lights

Buying headlights and tail lights can be an expensive affair today. They're complex, and features like xenon or LED lights can mean more money. This is why some people are interested in purchasing used headlights and tail lights. They fetch the seller a decent amount, especially if the car has expensive HID and xenon lights.

ADVERTISEMENT

If your car's headlights and taillights are in a good condition, they can be easily sold on websites that deal in used auto parts. These items can be shipped easily too.

A car's battery has one most important functions -- to start the car. When your engine is off, the car lights, music system, and other accessories are powered by the battery. This makes the battery the heart of your car. No battery = no life. Selling this part can fetch you a good amount.

ADVERTISEMENT

Try not to sell it as scrap, as it will only bring in a small amount. You're sure to find someone in need of a good car battery so ensure that you maintain your battery's condition.

Who wants to be sweating in a car when the weather is hot? Air conditioning is a must for any car and if someone's air conditioning has conked out, it is quite a nightmare. If your car is really old and you don't think anything is really worth selling off, the air conditioner or its compressor might come to your rescue.

ADVERTISEMENT

You will, however, need to maintain it and get it repaired if necessary. Nobody wants an air conditioner that doesn't do its job. If it is in good condition already, expect a decent amount of money from selling it.

Tailgate

Tailgates can fetch you a few hundred dollars. They may look like they don't have much use but in reality, they are quite sought-after when it comes to used car parts. They are especially important in SUVs, pickup trucks, and hatchbacks. So if you have an old car that you don't plan to use anymore, you can easily sell off the tailgate.

The suggestion again is to look for a buyer nearby since these cost a lot to ship.

Car seats are the parts that suffer the most over the years. Wear and tear to upholstery and worn out padding eventually leads to the seats being uncomfortable and not of much use later on. If your car is relatively old, you can sell your car seats. Ensure that they're in an acceptable condition, otherwise you might not be able to sell them at a good price.

ADVERTISEMENT

You can find many buyers for car seats. You might put up an online advertisement or reach out to potential buyers directly, if you know someone in need of car seats. They won't fetch you a grand amount but in decent enough condition, you can expect a reasonable return.

Exhaust System

An exhaust system is responsible for reducing fumes and harmful emissions from your car. Being necessary for every car owner, an exhaust is of very high value. The catalytic converter is a part of the exhaust system so you could go on to sell the entire unit together.

ADVERTISEMENT

Since a brand new unit can cost up to $1,000, many people usually look for a used one. This means that there's a really good chance to sell it off quickly while earning a fair amount of money in return. You can also sell it off to an auto parts retailer if you're unable to find an individual buyer.

Engine oil gets dirty over time. This is why old motor oil and oil filters might not fetch you a good deal. However, if you do plan to sell, you can have them cleaned and rebuilt. It is better do get this done if you're looking to make a decent amount. Nobody will be interested in purchasing dirty engine oil and filters.

Once you are ready to sell, car garages will be your best option besides authorized recycling facilities that can reuse the motor oil in other cars.

Who likes a noisy car engine? The near-unanimous answer is: no one. This makes the muffler such an important part of your car. It consists of a set of tubes that are perforated in order to minimize noise. It also enhances the performance of your car as it helps it to get rid of harmful gases faster.

ADVERTISEMENT

A muffler's sale will depend on the make and model of your car. If you are in a hurry, you can always sell it to a scrapyard but it's advisable to wait for a bit if you are looking for a better bid.

This is plain and simple. Side view mirrors are a necessary part for any car. You need them at all times to stay vigilant about what's going on behind your car. We also know that side view mirrors tend to get broken or scratched very easily. If we forget to turn them in before getting into a tight parking spot, they are doomed.

Side view mirrors are always in demand. They can be sold for a decent amount, provided they are in a decent condition. Ensure that there are no cracks and scratches on them before looking for a potential buyer.

If you're a "car parts maintenance" conscious driver, chances are that your clutch has been used less than normal. This means it hasn't been the victim of much wear and tear. If you haven't been paying attention to your clutch yet, it is time to make some changes. While you're waiting in a traffic jam, ensure that you have the brakes on and you shift the gear to neutral instead of using your clutch. This not only extends the lifespan of your clutch but ensures a good return on it when you sell it.

ADVERTISEMENT

New clutch kits can be expensive, as the replacement process itself is very costly. Buyers often look for used clutches for this very reason.

Brake Discs

The braking mechanism of a car is seemingly simple but it does have a good deal of science behind it. The brake discs work along with brake pads to convert your car's kinetic energy to bring it to a complete halt when needed. Brake discs have a very limited capability to absorb heat. Any extra heat must be dissipated to the ambient air rather quickly to prevent any damage from overheating.

ADVERTISEMENT

This makes a brake disc an important component of the braking mechanism. While new ones can be a costly affair, used ones have a good chance of selling for a higher price, making them a profitable sell.

Floor Mats

Floor mats seem to do a simple job. They keep the floor of your car free of dirt and other messes. However, they shouldn't emit any strong odors either. Since most car floor mats are made of rubber, they have a tendency to emit a nasty rubbery odor that people don't like.

ADVERTISEMENT

If you're planning to make some money by selling your floor mats, you need to check for any kind of odors or wear and tear. If you've maintained your floor mats, you will be lucky to sell them at a good price.

Shocks And Struts

Shocks and struts are movement stabilizers for your car. Whether you're taking a turn, braking, or accelerating, it is the shocks and struts at work. They keep your tires in touch with the pavement. Without them, you wouldn't have a smooth drive. The bumpier the ride, the shorter the life span of shocks and struts

ADVERTISEMENT

If you're someone who has used their car for regular purposes only on smooth roads, you could be fortunate enough to sell them of for a good amount. So if you've been a good driver who is careful on bumpy roads, you should be happy right now!

Weatherstripping

Weatherstripping often goes unnoticed but is very important. These rubber parts seal the edges of your car's windows, doors and windshield. As the name suggests, the function is to prevent snow, dirt, sand and rain from entering your car. Whether for doors, windows, roofrails, or windshields, you can sell all of them.

ADVERTISEMENT

Weatherstripping takes a beating and can wear out quickly. This means that there are many potential buyers for weatherstripping and if you're planning to sell your old car parts, add this to your list.

Power Steering Pump

As the name suggests, the power steering pump is responsible for power steering in your car. It runs with the help of a belt and pulley. The retractable vanes spin inside the chamber and pull hydraulic fluid from the return line. It also has a rotary valve that can sense the amount of pressure on the steering wheel. The process isn't as complex as it sounds but prolonged usage leads to wear and tear of vane pumps.

ADVERTISEMENT

It can be quite costly for a buyer to purchase a brand new vane pump and have it installed. Since most car parts come with expensive installation procedures, lots of buyers look for used parts instead of new ones.

Wind deflectors work as a contour kit for your car. They improve the aerodynamics in order for the car to be stable even at high speeds. They may look simple but they make your drive way more efficient. You're even able to drive without any turbulence with all your windows open, thanks to deflectors.

A cylinder head can be found at the top of the engine block. It houses important components like exhaust valves, the combustion chamber, and springs and lifters.The ports allow air and fuel to flow inside the cylinder while releasing the exhaust gases out. The cylinder head is also responsible for channeling the coolant into the engine block that helps the engine components to cool down. The gasket prevents oil or water leakage.

ADVERTISEMENT

Now that you see the importance of cylinder heads, you might be guessing that they can be sold off for a good price. If you are unable to find an individual buyer, you can always sell to auto parts retailers.

Control Arm

The control arm, or the A-arm, is responsible for your car's tires moving up and down smoothly. Without control arms, you'd have a not-so-fun ride every day. Your car's wheels remain in line with the body because of them. They connect the car's suspension to the frame of your car through brushings and are attached to the suspension through the ball. This allows your car to wheel and pivot.

ADVERTISEMENT

The number of control arms on your car depends on whether your car's suspension system is equipped with struts or shocks. Most cars have control arms only in the front suspension. You need to have that checked before you find a buyer for yours.

The most important question that pops up when thinking about selling your decals and stickers is whether the procedure of removing them will cause any paint damage.

ADVERTISEMENT

The answer is no, unless your car's paint is of cheap quality. If you've maintained your decals properly through the years, they will be easy to remove and sell.

Ignition cables are also known as spark plug wires. They are active parts in getting a car started. They transfer a spark from the ignition coil and ignite the air-fuel mixture to start the engine. As such, these are extremely important.

ADVERTISEMENT

Worn out spark plug wires start leaking voltage to engine parts and create performance problems. This is why it is always recommended to replace them before this happens to prevent other parts from getting damaged too. This makes it a car part that people are willing to buy in good condition.

Car manuals and literature are of extreme importance to most owners. They not only act as a guide but also help owners understand their car and its parts better. Most of them also come with warranty and repair information along with service centers' locations, etc. If you're planning to sell your car, these are of no use to you but why dispose when you can sell?

If you still have the manuals with you, you can find a potential buyer in someone who drives the same car model.

These can be very important for people who have older cars that tend to drain out battery life sooner than expected. Jumper wires won't fetch you a big payday but surely will come handy for those who need it. And, as we said before, extra money never hurts!

If you own an SUV or a pickup truck, you already know what we are talking about. SUVs and trucks usually have the rear of the car a little higher than the front. It is a practical design since SUVs and trucks are designed to carry a load at the back. However, most people don't necessarily purchase SUVs and trucks for this purpose and can find this imperfection in alignment unsettling.

ADVERTISEMENT

If you're someone who doesn't like this feature, chances are that you purchased a leveling kit to level the front and rear of your car. Now that you're selling the parts off, this can make a very good buy for the next owner too. Remember to up-sell this.
