Why Buying a Used Engine is Better than a New Engine

If you are in the unlucky position of needing to replace your car’s engine, buying a quality used engine could be the better solution for you.

There are some major advantages to buying a used engine.

COST

The cost of a new engine is significant. The price can also vary (significantly) depending on the year, make, and model of your car, and a used engine can be an affordable alternative.

Used parts and in particular used engines are generally more affordable than new ones, allowing you to save a significant amount of money. Add in the cost of labour and other associated costs, and you can quickly end up spending a large amount of money on a vehicle that is potentially not worth a lot more than the total costs of replacement parts and repair work.

By choosing a used part you find at Central Motor Wreckers or buying the engine from a reputable ebay seller, you will most likely save a significant amount of money.

AVAILABILITY

It can be challenging to find a new engine for older or rare vehicles. Especially when the manufacturer has discontinued production of that vehicle. In such cases, a quality used engine from an Auto Recycler who buys and dismantles older makes and models could be the only viable options to get your vehicle back on the road. At Central Motor Wreckers, we specialise in buying new and older models, ensuring that we have a huge used engines available for our customers. Even older makes and models.

AVOID DELAYS

In a post covid world, lengthy delays on new vehicle parts are a fact of life. Opting for a used engine can save you time compared to waiting for a new engine to be ordered and delivered from the manufacturer. With a used engine readily available, and buying from a reputable seller with fast shipping Australia-wide you can get your vehicle back on the road sooner.

While there are notable benefits of buying a used engine to get your car back on the road, it's important to consider a few factors when buying a used engine:

• Ensure the engine's condition is thoroughly assessed, and quality assured by buying from a reputable Auto Recycler

• Research the seller and also the engine's history, such as its mileage.

• Check for warranty or return policies available when you purchase. At Central Motor Wreckers, we back all of our parts with generous warranties. All Engines/Gearboxes/Transmissions purchased from us, are warrantied for a period 3 months from the purchase date.
