Why buy OEM Parts
While the vehicle you own may last year for many years, some of its parts will have a shorter lifespan. When something in your car has to be replaced, you’ll have to decide whether to buy OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts or find new ones from a private seller / after market.
Although buying from a private seller may be cheaper, the amount that you’ll save will be minor. It’s strongly suggested that you buy OEM parts because that’s what your vehicle was made with. These parts will be an exact fit for your vehicle and you’ll not have to worry about the quality, as you most likely trust the manufacturer of your vehicle.
After market parts can be made cheaply and might be the wrong fit for your vehicle. No matter how good the quality of your car is, you’ll need parts to be replaced from time to time. Knowing that, it doesn’t make sense to spend a little less to buy parts from somewhere else, when you’ve already put $30,000 into your vehicle. Buying OEM parts helps your vehicle last longer, and ensure optimum performance.
