In the EFI market, you can always rely on brands such as Bosch, Delphi, Hitachi, Denso,Walker, VDO, Valeo, Standard, General Electric, Walbro, Pierburg, Bremi, Bougicord etc.

The second reason to look at is, is that the parts you are getting are OEM parts, which means they will fit first time, every time. As they are original parts they have been designed by the manufacturer to fit and work perfectly. There are many auto wrecking yards around and are easily found in your local area’s.

Usually people think that their car would function better if it had completely new parts. However, this isn’t the case as used parts are good themselves. Of course, if you could afford new parts – go ahead as there’s no problem with them either.

With an ever-increasing demand, the internet has become the perfect vehicle where buyers and sellers of pre-used car parts meet and negotiate. Whether you buy online or at an actual store, the most important thing is that you find a legitimate dealer that offers quality and affordability. Here are some things to remember when buying used car parts.

Oil Leak: My 1993 Toyota Camry had a small oil leak. My grandpa told me to carry oil in my trunk and not worry about it. Several months later I was driving from Montana to California by myself for the first time. I was on my way home with no thoughts about breaking down in a little town called Madris, Oregon. My car would not start. By the grace of God I broke down in the parking lot of an bareboat charters. They directed me to the local mechanic.

If you don’t have the time or the resources to visit car parts dealers individually try searching for vintage car parts on the internet. There are thousands of sites that sell them and you just may find the particular part that you are looking for. Most of these sites offer different types, kinds and brands of antique auto parts.

The dealer charges you a preparation fee to prepare your car. Some often charge an outrageous $500 or more just to peel off the plastic protection on the car, test drive the car and put in the fuses. Most MSRP stickers indicate that these costs have already been covered by the manufacturer. In fact, some car dealers permanently print it on the buyer’s order to make it seem mandatory, but one way you can get it removed is by telling the dealer to add a credit (of the same amount as the dealer preparation fees) on the next line. If they refuse to do so, you should simply walk out of the dealership.

The way the economy works is that the rarer an item, the more expensive it is. The more of that particular item available on the market, the lower the value, and therefore the cheaper it becomes. Thus, manufacturing companies will produce many of the same OEM Accessories, sell them to different car parts companies, who in turn will stick their own label on the car part. This keeps the economy, up, without cheapening the OEM part.
