Why buy used auto parts? Why not? Your vehicle is running on them right now so why do so many people think they need to buy new? Misconception of a modern world where everything is presented and marketed to us as disposable. New! New! New! What we really need to think is reduce, reuse and recycle. Used! Used! Used! Think of it as helping our environment and your economical standing!
Now with that being said it is always good practice to shop around get some prices on both new and used. Weigh your options sometimes it may surprise you the price difference might not be much as you thought. Though rarely is that the case when that scenario falls into place it all comes down to your budget!
Before you spend all that money for brand new parts, consider some of the benefits to costs gained by going with used auto parts instead.
1. Cost
Used parts save you money! It’s no surprise that used parts will cost you less than new, but you might be surprised by the price disparity. Although the price of used parts will vary based on factors like rarity, demand, condition, dealer, full-service yard vs self-service yard but majority of the time you can be certain of finding parts for less than new! provided you’re not looking for super-rare parts for collectible classic cars, just for example.
2. Environmental
When you buy used you are helping our environment. You are playing a large role in helping reduce the consumption of natural resource. This also goes hand in hand with the reduction of hazardous pollutants. It takes a greater number of resources and energy to manufacture new products than it does to reuse and recycle.
3. Availability
It’s usually relatively easy to find used auto parts, especially for popular vehicles. They are most often taken from used cars of the same make and model that have been abandoned or scrapped due to age, accident, or other reasons. Some parts are not available aftermarket and or discontinued through the dealership.
4. Outlets
There are a variety of ways to find the used auto parts you’re looking for these days. You can certainly go old-school and dig for steals at junk yards if you know what you’re looking for, but you can also find used parts from reputable retailers that stock them and even at some auto repair shops. If all else fails, take to the internet.
5. OEM Standards
This stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer standards. What does it mean? When new or after-market parts are manufactured, they may or may not be identical to the parts originally manufactured for use in your automobile. They may be produced by third parties instead of the original automaker.
In short, you don’t necessarily know that what you’re getting is right for your car. When you seek out used parts that were once on cars of your same make and model, you know they’re going to fit and function properly.
6. Refurbishing
If you’re at all worried about the condition of used parts, look for those that have been refurbished for the purposes of resale. They may cost a little more, but they’ll still run you less than brand new and you’ll have some guarantee that they’re in usable condition.
