Why to Trust in Used Auto Parts
By Ryan | January 4, 2012
Used auto parts tend to have that used look and the stain of oil that all auto parts seem to get when they’re used.
We understand why you wouldn’t want to put your trust in a used engine, or a used transmission. They just look sketchy, don’t they? You have an emotional response to a worn appearance as opposed to the nice silvery sheen that a new part should have.
And we’re not asking you to suspend that. We simply feel that you need to make your judgment in light of as many facts as you can get, and we want to give you some.
For example: ‘new’ engines cease to be new the moment they first fire. Remember what you’re talking about: something that generates and then contains explosions as a means to propel in a forward direction. That’s a lot of force to work with, and you can’t imagine that any engine is going to be quite as new after so little as just a mile of such performance.
This fact is explainable by another fact: new parts are prone to a devaluation process. They may have been tested in a lab to make sure they could work, but there is nothing so rigorous on the engine as the demands of a commute. New engines are undergoing that devaluation all the time, even if they retain that effectiveness.
You can trust a used part, in that case, because it’s every bit as effective as a new engine. It’s just past its devaluation period, meaning that it’s cheaper.

If you have any brains at all you’ll never trust EATW. They have scammed thousands of victims. Don’t be their next victim, you’ll be so sorry. You’d be better off giving your money to the homeless rather than handing it over to these crooked bastards.
