[ahmedk]

Hey guys. Please reply on which used auto parts are never Ok to buy. Sometimes many parts owners make fool of people and sell the used auto part which are expired or completely dead. So, to ignore the same, please discuss which auto parts one should never go for used one.

I think thats a very good and important topic which can help many people who are planning to buy used auto parts for their car. I think one should never opt for following parts which are used:

Air bags, filters, headlights, clutch disc, rotors, bearings, cooling fan switch, brake pads, ball joints, fuel lines, fuses, gaskets, catalytic converter and battery.

Good points covered. I know some as well: water pump, radiator hoses, filters, ignition coil, MAF, bushings, switches sensors, absorbers, bearing, wheel cylinders, regulators, valves and tires.

Well I always buy used parts made of plastic and parts that don't affect the main parts of the car. So I guess buying plastic bumper is not something that you should avoid. But buying used starter is not recommended.

In short avoid buying the consumable part and buy the non consumable part if it's not broken and in good condition.
