Hey people. Please discuss which used auto parts are always Ok to buy. I am sure, many of us have a second thought sometimes on buying a used auto part rather than spending money of new part. so lets discuss on what auto parts are OK to go for used ones. thanks.

Very good point to discuss. I know these things which are OK to replace it with use parts: bumpers, panels, fuel tank, exhaust pipes, heat shield, air box, coolant fan, hub caps, jack, rear view mirrors, oil pan and gas cap.

But also remember, that even though they are always OK to use but don’t forget to inspect these things properly before actually buying it. Make sure, nothing is broken or fused.

Wow. So many! I know some more: car seats (sometimes), stereo system (not fused), tail lights, tie rods, wheels, reservoirs(coolant, vacuum), valve cover and wiper arm as well. I know all these things as per my experience as my friends did the replacement of these things before.

Basically you can find quality used parts for every part of your car. But I would prefer buying car parts that are not crucial for the proper functioning of the car. So mostly plastic parts.
