How Do You Buy Used Auto Parts?
I prefer to use online stores for buying used auto parts as I don’t have to roam here and there in search of the spares and also they deliver my stuff at my doorstep.
I recently bought a used transmission for my ford from autopartsfair and I am pretty happy with the performance of these spares so far.
Buying used auto parts can provide the do-it-yourself home mechanic with a cheaper alternative to new or refurbished parts. There are many different sources for buying used auto parts, which can have a lot of life in them depending on the mileage on the vehicle they came from. Write down the year, make, model and VIN from the vehicle. The VIN is located on the dashboard near the firewall on the drivers side and is best viewed from outside the windshield. Identify the part or parts that you want to buy from a used parts dealer. If a vehicle is very old it would be better to replace with new parts. Non-electronic and non-mechanical parts that don’t degrade with normal wear and tear are excellent candidates for items to be purchased used. Locate your nearest junkyard. Some used parts lots will allow you to go and pull the part off of a vehicle in their yard for an additional discount. Others may require a core charge, or a deposit, until you return the defective part, which they will late
