Used car parts in Leeds typically sell for £20 to £400 (about $27 to $540). Car parts sell on the part number, not the description — and a few parts, airbags and pretensioners above all, are pyrotechnic and cannot go in the post at all.
Selling car parts in Leeds
The student districts empty and refill every summer, and because they are so concentrated the turnover is visible: whole streets change hands in a fortnight. That is when desks, bookshelves and bikes come onto the market in volume.
The centre is small enough to cross on foot in twenty minutes and the station sits in the middle of it, which makes meeting up straightforward. The dense student districts north of the centre are close enough together that collecting furniture from one is a short trip rather than an afternoon.
Student-let furniture has usually had a hard three years even when it photographs well. Check the joints on anything wooden and sit on anything upholstered before you commit.
Leeds, in England, has around 800,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. London, Birmingham and Sheffield are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Leeds
Distance selling rules bind traders, not private sellers, but an item must still be as described and anything sold as working must actually work. Around Headingley, Hyde Park and Chapel Allerton are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.
What car parts are worth
What lifts the price
- Original manufacturer parts with part numbers
- Unused or low-mileage removed components
What pulls it down
- Parts listed without a part number
- Obsolete parts for vehicles no longer on the road
Working out what yours is worth
- List every vehicle model and year it fits
- Photograph all mating surfaces and mounting points
Getting it ready
- Find the part number stamped or labelled on the component and photograph it. That number is the entire listing.
- Note the donor vehicle: make, model, year, engine and trim, plus mileage for wear items.
Photograph
- The part whole, on a clean surface, from its most identifiable angle
- All mating faces, threads and connectors
Put in the description
- Part number and manufacturer
- Whether genuine, OEM-equivalent or aftermarket
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.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

Point to the part number and let the buyer cross-reference it. Fitment across facelifts and engine variants is exactly where confident guesses go wrong.
