What are Used Car Parts?
Used car parts are in essence a piece of used car that has been reconditioned and repackaged to look and perform as new. You can buy a used car component and perform minor modifications and then sell it again to another customer. It can even be a regular Ford or Holden part from another garage. The advantages are many, the main being the lower price and the fact that you are not buying a brand new part with high installation costs. Below is a list of some of the things you can buy second hand; Exhausts, Engines, Dashboards, Cabin, Air Supply ,Wheels, Steel Wheels, Steering Wheels, Horns & Bumpers. Part of the attraction of second hand car parts is that you have the chance to save money on your car repairs.
Why are Used Car Parts a good option?
The advantages of buying used car parts include: Environmentally friendly – Vehicle parts are subject to limited use, usually by a single owner. This means they have less wear and tear, longer life spans and a much lower carbon footprint. It means your car is less likely to end up in a landfill. Cost savings – Used car parts are cheaper than the equivalent new parts. With recycled car parts you will be helping to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill and the importance of recycling is that it reduces the demand on finite resources. Lower running costs – Using second hand parts means you are saving on vehicle maintenance costs and prolonging the life of your vehicle.
What is the cost difference between a new part and a used part?
New parts are generally significantly more expensive than used parts and you can also expect a longer lead time for new parts, which are made to order. In some cases, this might be up to 6 weeks or more! It may be worth taking a used car to an independent car parts dealer as they are more likely to have a current list of stock. Also, some car manufacturers will provide with a list of used parts that they recommend for that vehicle. Remember, not all used car dealers are equal! We get rid of used cars that aren’t fit to sell, so always check reviews of dealers online before going there to buy a part. We are the only used car parts dealer in the Western Australian capital city that are Gold Star Approved – an Australian government quality certification scheme.
