By Douglas Smith


All car owners will need to maintain their vehicle to keep them running well and will sometimes have to purchase and fit spares. New components for cars can be quite expensive and a cheaper alternative is to use second hand spares. When you are looking for a place to buy Used Porsche parts there are various suppliers to choose from.

When new spares have to be fitted to your vehicle it is very important to make sure you use ones that are compatible. Genuine Porsche parts should be used if it is possible to keep any guarantees valid and to maintain your cars value. If you decide to sell your vehicle it will be more desirable if you have used genuine factory spares.

Many different spares can be taken off a car and fitted to another and they will often function as well as new parts. Engines, transmissions and exhaust systems can by recycled as well as suspension components and body panels. Interiors, glass and lights can also be used if they are in good condition and have not been damaged in any way.

There are various places where you are able to buy used spares and it is worth looking at all of the options beforehand. Junk yards and scrap dealers in your area may have some parts and local mechanics shops may also be able to help. Many firms specialize in selling European car spares and they advertise in newspapers and specialist auto magazines.

Many suppliers will also advertise online and the web sites for the companies are worth reading for some useful information. The web pages will list the available stock with a color photo, description and the price. If you order any items from an online supplier you will usually need to factor shipping costs into the price of your item.

If you own a classic car or a rare model it may be difficult to source the spares that you need. Classic vehicle clubs are a great place to find hard to locate items and many of the club members will sell spares that they have collected. It may also be worth a visit to a Porsche showroom and they may be able to give you the contact details of a second hand spares supplier in the area.

If your spares have to be ordered from an overseas supplier it is worth noting that they may take a while to arrive. A lot of items may need to be ordered from Europe and they will be sent via courier to your address. If you are not using your spares straight away you should keep them in the packaging and store them safely until they are needed.

When you get your spares it is advisable to hang on to the receipt for payment in case it is needed in the future. Some spares that have been refurbished by a specialist will be covered with a time based warranty. Always use the service of a qualified auto engineer to fit your spares unless you are able to do the work in your home workshop.
