How to Buy Wrecked Motorcycles from Insurance Companies
- 1). Locate a salvage yard near you. Vendors are typically found in the phone book or by using an Internet search.
- 2). Contact the salvage yard to ensure it handles insurance vehicles and carries motorcycles in its inventory.
- 3). Register as a buyer with the salvage yard. Every yard has its own registration process. Typically you must provide your name and contact information. Some will charge a registration fee.
- 4). Browse the yard's online inventory and contact the seller or broker directly to negotiate a purchase. If the yard offers live auctions only, go to the yard at the correct day and time to participate in the auction process. The yard or broker representing the motorcycle should provide information about the vehicle's damages.
- 5). Settle the negotiation or have the highest bid at auction.
- 6). Provide payment to the salvage yard or the broker in accordance with the salvage yard's payment policies.
