What do you do when a part of your Daewoo vehicle breaks or needs to be replaced? Do you pay full price for a brand new replacement car part? Or are you smart enough to spend less than half the price of a new car part by buying a high quality, genuine used car part instead? Here at Daewoo wreckers we have plenty of used spares and parts available now.
Why buy a used car part
1. Cheap parts cost less The price of a replacement car part is 100,000 won to 150,000 won. A used car part that costs 100,000 won will save you 10% of the price of a new one. Generally replacement car parts will save you 40% of the price of a new one. 2. Free availability Some parts are only sold new. Used car parts are usually sold on car auctions. The auction is where car sellers bring their vehicles for sale. Used car parts will be sold through the auction so you’ll be able to see the condition. 3. Easy to change There are many factors that affect a car’s performance. It’s all down to the parts, including the engine and transmission.
When a part of your Daewoo breaks or needs to be replaced you have 3 options:
- Buy a new replacement part, i.e. a brand new replacement part from a dealer.
- Buy a used part. In this case you are buying an identical part of the same type as the one that is broken so it’s better to buy this used part.
- Buy a brand new replacement part from a car for sale.
- Ask the dealer for a replacement part if you don’t have the correct part for your Daewoo at the time of purchase.
Whatever option you choose, make sure you inspect the part thoroughly before you buy. This includes everything from size and shape to age.
Where to buy used car parts
When it comes to parts you need to buy, the cheapest option is to buy used. Yes, you can buy top quality second hand parts. It may be harder to find the same part brand as the original but you can save a lot of money in the process. Also the second hand market is full of parts that are the same as the originals. This means you can get a brand new car part for no more than the price of a brand new part. You can also get genuine used parts for a lot cheaper. Just be careful. If a parts brand goes out of business, their parts will no longer be available to buy. Only buy from an independent source. Conclusion If you decide to buy a used car part, you can’t go wrong. It will be a bargain compared to buying a new part.
When to buy used car parts
There are a few good reasons to buy used car parts over brand new ones. The biggest and most important one is that a used car part that has never been professionally inspected and possibly even disassembled can be genuine. Not to mention an amateur mechanic who put together that used car part from the manufacturer’s parts list may not know of the hidden faults that will arise in the future. More often than not a good second hand parts dealer will do their own thorough inspection to ensure the used parts work properly.
