subject: Band New Vs Used Parts For Your Holden [print this page] GM Holden LtdGM Holden Ltd. is located in Australia and is in partnership with General Motors. Holden was established in 1856 as a saddle company, and expanded into the vehicle business later on, and became a part of GM in 1931, making many of Australia's vehicles locally. Holden has marginal ownership in Daewoo Motors of South Korea. They are known to be well-liked and dependable vehicles just like the cars made by GM in America. Holden parts and accessories are created to keep the Holden vehicle on the road, and Holden makes genuine Holden parts, GM Performance parts, and sometimes ACDelco parts. Below we will talk about other options to holden parts and accessories.
Holden car parts are made to replace parts that need to be changed due to regular wear and tear. Accessories personalize the look of your car, and these go above the regular automobile features that are beautiful and eye catching. No matter if it is truck covers and roll bars, or DVD players, custom alloy wheels, and Bluetooth kits or mud flaps, accessories beautify your car and make it fit your needs easily.
Cost is frequently a determining factor when choosing parts and accessories for your car. Holden has a large line of parts and accessories to keep cars on the road and in good order. However there are other alternatives. Aftermarket new parts are a good choice. These parts and accessories, on sale at car part shops not related to the car manufacturer, are new and function with the car, minus the manufacturer costs. In many instances, one will not notice any change in performance from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, but it is available at a sliver of the price.
Another selection is reconditioned parts and accessories. These are used parts that have been rebuilt. They are not as pricey as new parts. Warranties come with the two options mentioned above, depending on the part or accessory you want. The last choice is locating used parts with the help of a junk yard dealer. Such parts might be in good condition, and the price is very low in comparison to new parts or accessories, however they do not have a warranty available.
The question of which choice to make is consumer-driven. The automobile manufacturer would site that only genuine holden parts and accessories will work and be reliable. Crash testing shows no difference between OEM and aftermarket products. They may not fit as easily. Pricing is considerably better considering that the parts all work, so if economy is a question, then aftermarket products are your best option for new parts.
Reconditioned parts, on the other hand, are even less expensive because they are rebuilt casings with all new components. These two options are most appealing to a customer that is on a budget, yet wants the safety of reliably tested parts and warranties. The final option, the used part, is inadvisable in most respects for long-term fixes, unless you are prepared to replace the part several times as the life span of such parts are unknown and no warranty accompanies the part. The used part is, however, an excellent option for the short-term as you save up for the better part or if you have the time to replace the part several times if necessary.
