Seen It All Now. Used Car Parts On Ebay.

Recommended Posts

ade 4wd

I have seen some crazy used car parts on Ebay before like clutch plates, cambelts and tensioners and even brake pads!!!

Just seen a set of pistons removed from a 97 306 1.9TD for £125!!

They were removed because the engine was knackered (water damage).

I am all for saving a few quid but who on here would fit these type of used parts?

The head gaskets and timing belts always make me chuckle. Bonkers.

The local Saturday morning market always has a few choice items, other than broken hand tools. Used spark plugs ,rusty points still in the box , knackered hose clips , perished rubber hoses .Lengths of cable in varying states of decay .Todays' golden nugget was an inlet manifold for something with 6 cylinders .Perhaps someone with a car themed pub could use it as a shot glass tray or a candle stick holder, if the price of electric keeps rising .One person could have 6 drinks.A piston head fish-bowl / yard-of-ale , a smoking device . A novelty charity box ?

And what's funny is these used parts are often priced higher than brand new pattern parts!

Aye, that's about the sum of it. Those VW guys lap it up!

I once saw used engine oil for sale. Slightly taking the biscuit.

Spark plugs, air filters, big end shells all used and for sale. Even seen used nuts and bolts.

 

I wonder if any of it sells?

The Americans seem to love a good old fashioned used head gasket on eBay.
