ATV Salvage Yards: What to look for when buying.ATV salvage yards are a resource that we can all use at one time or another. The real deal is to find the right parts in the right condition that will do the job. Usually, we are looking for parts that are going to be worthy of going to the yard or dealing with a yard to save a few bucks. It is important to consider whether the part that you are buying is going to be worth the effort. One of the biggest factors is the availability of the parts. If you can find parts new for a few bucks, than it is probably not worth dealing with a salvage yard. On the other hand, if you are looking for a hard-to-find part that is going to cost you an arm and a leg to pick up from the dealer, then it might be worth looking at used. Most salvage yards are basic operations that can provide you with the parts that they currently have in stock. The deal is that they cannot always fill your needs. The biggest benefit that they provide to all of us is the ability to give us the odds and ends that a dealer will charge us an arm and leg for. The number of one-off parts on any ATV or bike is hard to imagine. So if there is someone that can source and then ship them to us at a reasonable rate, then all the better. It is important to consider that these parts are going to be purchased sight unseen and will not carry a warranty. This means that you have to really consider what you are buying and how much it will cost to both source and ship. The shipping is extremely variable. ATV salvage yards will charge shipping rates that will vary greatly. This puts the burden on you to make sure that you determine the cost of shipping before you buy.
