Buying Car Parts
The Internet has changed the way people buy
things. It doesn't matter if that purchase
is a small ticket item or a larger ticket
item like car parts. In fact, major online
auction companies like eBay.com have an
entire section devoted strictly to cars and
car parts.
For the professional
If you are a professional searching for car
parts, running an online search for
"discount auto parts" or "wholesale auto
parts" will yield a treasure trove of sites
that offer huge discounts, free shipping,
and great warranties for a minimum purchase.
You can take advantage of these online
stores which buy in bulk from the
manufacturer and resell them at
close-to-wholesale prices to you. And, if
you are a reseller or have a business
license, you may even qualify for tax
minimized purchases as well! Often these are
great places to purchase parts if you run a
shop that has a tight schedule since
overnight delivery is available in many
areas, allowing you to get that one part
quickly to get a customer's car on the road
again.
For the hobbyist
However, if you are not a professional auto
parts purchaser, you are still able to buy
car parts at a discount. If you are a car
enthusiast or a backyard mechanic, you may
find that you meet the minimum purchase
requirements from some of the discount auto
parts sites mentioned above, simply from the
amount of work you do, since the minimum
purchase requirements are surprisingly low.
If you can get a good deal from these online
shops, go ahead and order!
If you don't think you qualify initially,
there is a chance that you may still be able
to qualify. Here's how: find one or two
fellow car enthusiasts, either people you
trust, or people you can find from a taking
out a small classified ad in a newspaper.
When you've found these people, you can pool
your purchases in order to qualify for the
minimum discount.
And don't forget about eBay.com and other
auto auction sites where you can bid on
great car parts and get them at really low
prices!
Whether you are a professional car parts
buyer or a hobbyist looking to fix up that
project car, you can find inexpensive parts
online.
