Avoiding Common Pitfalls While Opting For Used Engines

Buying a new car every 3 to 5 years was once a booming trend but the current economic recession has done havoc on peoples life style. Now changing a car models is a luxury enjoyed by few, most people either go for reconditioned used cars or simply change the engine of their vehicle to extend its working life. Whether your cars engine life has gone beyond its limit or it has simply broken down, getting it repaired, reconditioned engine or opting for a used engine are your only economical choices. One may argue that in such a scenario reconditioned engines are the best choice as they offer greater reliability and performance along with multi year guarantees on many parts. But in most cases this option will cost you twice as much as going for a used one. If one is facing economic constraints then going for used engine is the best choice.

To better safeguard your investment it is recommended that you keep an open eye through out the process of getting and eventually installing the used engine.

For starters make sure that the make and engine model of your car coincides with what you are getting, you will find many variants of same model and all of them wont be compatible.

There is no surprise that used engines are mostly taken out of wrecked, broken down cars so you shouldnt expect much but you should know the extent of damage to the car and the area of impact, whether it was damaged from rear or front. This will allow you to know what you are getting.

Shop for engines with relatively low mileage, also be on the look out for service and maintenance history of the car and engine, also look for liars; a dealer selling ten year old model with only 10,000 miles is more than likely lying.

In your pursuit for getting the best deal on used engines internet is your best friend, learn abut the market before you make a move, there are many hawkers, vendors and dealers online that allow you to compare and contrast their offering, engine along with services, with others. Ideally you should choose the one which offers longer and all encompassing guarantees. So shop smartly.

It is in your best interest to let the professionals do the dirty work but if you want to install engine by yourself then make sure that you get a helping hand from a pro or semi pro, you read the manual and go through walkthrough videos to know whether you can handle it or not.
