Sell Your Car Parts in Canada

Used car parts in Canada typically sell for C$38 to C$755 (about $27 to $540). Parts sell well when they are correctly identified, and the part number matters far more than the description.

Selling car parts in Canada

Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.

Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.

Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.

Working out what yours is worth

• Find and photograph the part number
• List every vehicle model and year it fits

Getting it ready

• Find the part number stamped or labelled on the component and photograph it. That number is the entire listing.
• Clean the part enough to be identifiable, and check whether it is a safety-critical or restricted component before you plan any postage.

Photograph

• The part whole, on a clean surface, from its most identifiable angle
• The part number and any manufacturer marking, legible
• Any damage, corrosion, wear or missing fixing

Put in the description

• Donor vehicle make, model, year, engine and mileage
• Whether genuine, OEM-equivalent or aftermarket
• Condition, and whether it was removed working or from a damaged vehicle

Part, vehicle, years and part number: “Alternator, [Make Model] 2.0 TDI 2012-2016, Part No. [number]”. The part number does more than any description because buyers search it directly. Say genuine, OEM or aftermarket, and give the donor vehicle’s mileage on wear items.

Weigh before quoting; parts are dense. Drain any fluid, and never post an airbag or pretensioner — they are classed as dangerous goods. Keep a record of the donor vehicle for anything safety related.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$755 a buyer pays is the C$755 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions

Where can I sell car parts in Canada?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Can you post it?

For most parts yes, weight permitting. Airbags, seatbelt pretensioners and anything containing fuel or oil are restricted or refused by carriers, so check before you agree.

How should I list car parts?

By part number first, then the vehicles it fits. Buyers search by part number, and a listing without one is much harder to find.

Should I include fixings?

Yes. Brackets and bolts are often vehicle-specific and their absence is a common cause of returns.
