Don't buy an auto part just because it is cheapest. It is not frugal to have to repair again soon after the initial repair. It is a waste of time and money. Many times you want good quality for safety too. Did you know that many of the stores will beat their competitors on price. You tell them the lowest price quoted and ask if they can beat it.Therefore, they will usually work with you. When I am getting prices from a dealer, like Ford for example, I always ask them if that is the best they can do. They always come down on price too. They even vary from dealership to dealership in the same county, no kidding. THEY WANT YOUR BUSINESS.... THEY WANT YOUR MONEY...
Sometimes, when you buy more than one auto part, such discounts are offered. There is nothing wrong with taking advantage of this. There are truck junk yards near me , like air filters, which have to be replaced regularly. So if you are offered a discount for buying more than one air filter, why not take it?
2) The junk yard. While you might think you are above visiting a car junk yards near me that sell parts, are you above saving a lot of money? Probably not. A quick stop in at the local junk yard might save you a lot of money compared to a new air filter. And, even better, this ties directly into point #1. A friend of my, Robert, needed an auto part so he looked online and found a junk yard. The junk yard shipped him a part that was almost new and he couldn't have been happier. Just cause an air filter is used, doesn't mean it's very used!
If what you are hunting has small parts like screws and washers, take a Ziploc baggy with you too. This will make sure you don't lose them somewhere in the junkyard!
There are damaged cars sold in the market at a price nearly half the original. Of course, you just need to set aside some extra cash for minor repairs. Wrecked salvaged cars for sale offer a variety of car makes and models. If you get lucky, you can own the latest 2010 Audis or BMWs for less than $10,000.
Another option that you have is to buy reconditioned parts from an authorized - or private - service center. Even though, these are used auto parts, they are almost as good as new ones. Have you ever wondered what happens to your vehicles' old parts when you order a replacement? Those parts are restored by the stores and they sell them for peanuts to people who don't want to spend on brand new parts. Not to mention that sometimes these parts carry a warranty with them. This is what makes it the next best thing after buying new parts, if not better than that.
When putting together your remote control cars, you will think that they were model kits, but they actually work. The final result was a working car. You had the option of choosing the color, make and model when you bought your kit. You had so many options and features on these cars.
